Guys,
The secret is to insert a small pin (or 2) between the shaft and the seal  
lip.  This will allow grease to flow into the bearing without encountering  
pressure build-up that would push the bearing out.  Clean the surface  really 
well, insert the pins, attach the greasing tool, pump the grease gun 5 or  6 
times.  This is enough to fill the bearing cavity without disturbing  the lower 
seal.  This also minimizes the grease spray you sometimes  get from a re-greased 
bearing.  This procedure also works for re-greasing  the idler bearing.
