I'm not sure why they say to do them every year??? My cars that have the same type of bearings go for 10s of thousands of miles (years) before being repacked. Every time I have done it, they have looked like new. I now do them every 2 or 3 years.
If you shoot it in the fitting there are two issues. One is that the seal fails and you get grease on your brakes. This happened to me. The other is you have to pump a ton of grease to get it to push out through your your back and front bearing.
