That "grease" that comes with the made in china bearings isn't real load bearing EP grease. Its just gunk that keeps the rust off the bearings and race surfaces during the boat ride over here.
So when you get new bearings do not install them. Remove the gunk from them and repack with real lithium based grease that actually has extreme pressure additives in it.
If you do not clean and repack the new bearings you will need all the extras you bought and then some.
