Best to fill the bearing 1/3 full.
EZ Lube Hubs (and bearings) are packed completely full of grease and do not run hot, even in temps well over 100 degrees. Have run at 65-70 for hours in temps of 102-105 and hubs are warm to the touch.
Neither of mine were. If they had been I would have removed all the grease and hand packed. A cartridge or 16 oz. tub of grease used correctly will last a lifetime.
