Timken recommends the hub half full, they caution against filling it all the way because it will run hotter.
You would have to show me some verifiable reference for that since IMO only filling the hub half full makes ZERO SENSE and would be COMPLETELY USELESS for the EZ lube type system to work.
My BS FLAG is at full staff and at attention.

"NOTE: You should allow enough space in the housing for heat dissipation so excess grease throws clear from
the bearing. Contain the grease around the bearing. The housing should normally be 1/3 to 1/2 full of grease
during bearing assembly. Too much grease in the housing may cause high temperatures and excess churning of
the grease."
I'd say your BS flag is suffering from erectile dysfunction....:R
Note I SAID VERIFIABLE and your post is far from that since anyone can write down anything they want.
Try Again and make sure any reference is about easy lube bearings and the info you posted flies directly in the face of something like bearing buddies which sure does not have any "dead space" in the hub.
BS FLAG STILL FLYING STRAIGHT AND BOLD!!!:p
BTW AFAIK temp issues and things like churning might have been a concerned 20 or 30 years ago, but modern day greases make those issue close to non existant now.

Modern day greases make temp issues and churning close to non-existent??? Where did you get that info? PLEASE VERIFY! I read recently that people can write down anything they want, so be sure to provide reliable sources for such a sweeping statement. Meanwhile, I’ll be out flag shopping. :)
