After using Royal Purple grease on my trailers over the years and never having a failure.......I use it on all of my builds......best stuff there is....
Not easy to find. $11-12 a tube.......use it with a Lisle bearing packer.....
When I take the trailer bearings out...they look excellent every time.

Coastal Uniplex. Been meaning to try the Royal Purple ultra performance. Can't say I agree with the comment to grab whatever's on the shelf at the parts store -- I would avoid Mobil 1 grease for example.

Lucas red n' tacky is what I use. Bearings look like new after many years.
No, that would be a waste, and quite messy.
Use a bearing packer (like Lisle), and that's it. A bunch of grease in the cavity won't do anything for you.

You can go with what was recommended for your car 4-5 decades ago...or you can put good quality synthetic grease in your wheel bearings and have them last a lot longer, never melt out (from heat), and never turn to caked grease.
Lots of lubricating improvements over 40+ years ago. Make use of them.
