Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. Maybe I should try and clarify my original question about packing these specific bearings. The 14 "rollers" are hollow with a pin running through them that holds the assembly together. It is very simple to pack grease around the rollers but I am trying to get grease to the "inside" where the pin runs through. Bob C made a good point and suggested that the pins probably don't get much force on them anyway.
Again thanks for trying to help. I will probably just get as much grease as possible around the rollers and install them with the new seal. I'll drive the car a few hundred miles, then pull the hubs and pack some more grease in there and call it good enough. Hopefully the grease will be forced in around the pins before they get too hot.
