I have always packed the bearings thoroughly, then added a layer in
the hub as thick as the stops that the outer race rests on. Packing
it full, I've always been told, is a bad idea for all sorts of
reasons. I've never been comfortable leaving it completely empty,
though...for no particular reason. In 45 years, I've never had
leaking/blown seals or prematurely worn bearings.
