That hub grease is pretty cool! What is the consistency like? I know on my Suzuki Sidekick, it originally had "Auto Free Wheeling" Hubs. The recommendation on them was to just clean them up and give an ounce or 2 of ATF, but not bearing grease, for the same reasons given above.

Do the Ford hubs not seal? On the Zuk it uses an o-ring at the hub mounting surface, and then axle seals thru the wheel hub.
