[Zmagnette] wheel bearing lubrication

Check with the bearing manufacturer. They don't recommend a Lot of Grease.

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.
