Actually you should continue until you see NEW grease come out the front of the hub. That way you know you have pushed out all the old grease and refilled with new grease. If you are using new red grease it is pretty easy to tell when the new grease starts coming out as the old grease has a little duller color.


That's all I ever did, every other year, for 14 years and never a bearing problem. Or grease leak on brakes. Closely following Dexter instructions.
