Very nicely done that should help allot of folks. The description for the packing can be hard to explain but it's always easier to show someone than to explain to someone.
Not to add much but how's this for the repacking description: Place a dab of grease in the opposite hand you'll be holding the bearing in, then holding it wide end down and at an angle, press and rock the edge of the bearing against your palm and occasionally moving into the grease a bit in your palm working the grease into bearing between the inner and outer housing (excess grease that gathers in the middle just put back in the pile from time to time) until it begins to come out the top edge, then move over a little (turn the whole beaing as one do not rotate the housing). Keep this up working your way around until grease has oozed out of the top gap all the way around the bearing and you're sure it is totally full.
