Well, I must say this thread I started has been fun to follow. I think the last 3 posts put it all in perspective.

Maybe I'll start a new thread on why MB is so precise with the amount of grease to use in the bearing. This one I know the answer to from experience. Too much grease will actually pull the grease out of the bearing making it run too dry - might even be worse than not enough grease.
