Need to check the manual to be certain. I haven't seen the procedure on the 210 chassis, but it's likely similar to the others that I've seen. Mercedes specifies a certain amount of wheel bearing grease for the bearing itself and for the grease cap. Usually it's something like 15g and 50g. Maybe filling it up to the flared edge is the right amount, but I've never seen it stated that way in any Mercedes manual.
