[Zmagnette] wheel bearing lubrication

How much grease do you guys use for front wheel bearings?  On 
American cars, I typically pack the bearing itself and smear maybe a 
finger's worth of grease on the outside of the bearing once 
installed.  I do not put grease in the cap.  The Magnette manual says 
to refill the cap with grease every 6000 miles.  I have grease 
streaks on my wheels, and I have not yet opened things up to 
investigate.  Bearings are due for an inspection anyway.
