Good write up and pics!!!

....I do the same with any new bearings I get also. As an aside I use a tiny flathead screw driver to flip the seal out as I find it a little bit stronger if a seal is a bit sticky.

As stated it's not required to fill them 100% full as the grease can squeeze out past the seal.....oh...and it's weirdly therapeutic !!!
