How Much Is Too Much?

Hi everyone, I am in the process of changing my ball joints, new spindle hubs, seals, and tie rods. Everything is going well, just need a dry day so I can put it all together. The only question I have is, How much grease do I smear and or cram into the outer hubs? I have a 2006 SD 4X4 with the original auto hubs. When I see things that look like gears, I tend to go overboard with the grease. Thanks for the help! Steve

Minimal skin coat. They are sealed with o-rings so moisture shouldn't be a concern. If you stuff it tight with grease it can interfere with operation.
