Bearing repack question

Not sure what you mean by had packed correctly. I did was to pack/grease the two bearings. Beyond packing the bearings, what do you mean?

Is there a potential problem if I adds more into the fitting?

Thanks

If you just swished some grease on that could be insufficient. If you forced grease into the rollers so it oozed out in all directions then you are good and done.

The issue with the zerk is the grease is forced against the rear seal to make it flow through the bearings from back to front. If grease gets past the seal it goes on the brake shoes. If you must use the zerk you must have a double lip seal and rotate the wheel while you SLOWLY hand pump the grease. Again this is not needed if the bearing is properly packed.
