You don't need those clowns.
Ok go to a gun store and some Remington dry teflon spray. Not the oil with teflon. Has to be dry film.
When you pull the bearing apart keep them matched to their respective hub and race.
Clean them up real good, coat the bearings and races with the Teflon spray.
Then take your choice of grease, preferably something synthetic or synthetic blend with a temperature range of -40'F to +400'F and pack the bearings, coat the cleaned bearing surfaces with it.
Plan on using enough grease to fill about 1/3 of the volume of the total bearing cavity.
Install them snug but not tight since they are already broken in.
Hazards to look out for:
Grease is bad for you, used or new.
The bearings and races were likely cadmium coated.
So wear rubber gloves.
