How to properly grease the rear hubs?

[accobraman50]

The rear hubs have a rubber plug in the hub. The manual states
remove plug and fill with grease. Has anyone done this?

How do you put the grease in the hole, poke it in with a stick?

How much grease? Is Moly grease good for this?

Would love to know what the correct procedure is.

Thanks,

You just keep pumping the grease in until the hub is full - use your fingers to poke it further in. However you must not pump it in under pressure (i.e, a air pressure gun) otherwise it will push past the seals. Not an exact science and it does not need to be perfect. I use one of these as it make the whole job a lot easier on an E-Type every 2,5000 miles:

Just put the nozzle in the hole and squeeze the trigger until the grease overflows out.
