How I remove and install axle grease caps
Short and sweet...60 seconds. Not much to write here so just posting a link to the video. If you have any tips to do it easier chime in. I'm certainly no mechanic, but this has been working well ...

If from the inside a good splotch of grease seals the hole then Clay Smith's trick will work fine. The days of Hectorite clay based greases* is long gone. What these greases did was wick oil from a remote clot of grease and keep a bearing well lubricated. Meaning the area between the inner and outer bearings could be packed with grease and last a long, long, time. That doesn't work any more so putting extra grease in the hub cavity is a waste of money.
