I use Mystik JT-6 High Temp grease and push it into the rollers with my finger. When I see the grease coming out by the next roller I move over one and keep pressing in more grease, etc. until I make the full round. This is for an installed in the hub rear bearing. If the bearing is out then I use the typical old mechanics method of cupping the bearing into a lump of grease in my left hand until it squishes out the rollers, then keep rotating until it makes the full round. Then I add to the rollers to make a smooth covering. I also smear grease in the hub so there are no bare spots to rust.

Be sure the rear wheel bearing seal isn't too large, as some were in recent years. I had one deform as I pressed it into position, so I had to buy another one and sand down the OD. I think that problem may have been corrected by now, but I haven't done a seal in some time. Don't drive the seal in too far! Just drive it in far enough to get the snap ring in place.
