The manual is very specific.

I don't have it on me but the manual specifies the exact amount of grease per side in grams. If there is too much it heats up and turns liquid, rinning out and leaving too little. Packing a bearing is done by pressing grease into one side of the bearing until it comes out of the other. Most do it by hand. I wear rubber gloves.

Also, check the diameter of the shaft. There is a spec for that too.
MHO Good luck.
