b58.jpg Pack bearings, then fill void between bearings with Castrol Pyroplex Blue grease; not cheap grease as shown.  Any air in this area will contract during deep fording, causing water to be sucked past the seals into the grease & bearings.  Filling with grease prevents this.

DO NOT FILL THE HUB LOCKS.  They need air space inside for their mechanisms to move, so they should only have a light coat of grease.
