[TR] Wheel bearings

When I rebuilt the front suspension, etc. on my 6 I repacked the wheel  
bearings and found a LOT of grease in the cavity in the hub between the 
outboard  
and inboard wheel bearing.  Now that I am dong my 3A I find the same  thing.  
Does this excess grease serve any function?  On the 6 I  replaced about 1/2 of 
the quantity I found originally in the cavity even though  it did not seem to 
me to provide any lubrication.  I certainly pack the  bearings well and make 
sure that all surfaces have adequate grease
