Each hub should take about 1/4 tube of grease if they were empty. If you have not pumped grease in since new, then they are would be empty as manuafactur only packs the bearings and does not fill the hub.

Never use a air powered grease gun. Even after you have filled the hubs, they are not actually full. There are often voids. This means that the next time you pump grease in you will add a few pumps before the grease comes out the front. Some people think this means the seals are leaking. I thought this as well and have pulled suspect drums off only to find the seals were doing their job.
