Larry are you referring to me?
I see a lot of agreement in your post.
Crabby already had seal failures and grease on his brakes... He then cleaned up that mess, installed new parts did a manual repack,,,, and THEN pumped more grease in. My point was that since he had already had failures, that doing the same thing over again would likely mean the same result... But if he was to disassemble it NOW before using it and discover the grease that it could be a simple easy fix.
If you disagree with that thinking then I suppose you can go help him clean up the next mess if it happens again.
