No such thing as too much grease. So long as you continue to overgrease. I add grease to new bearings. I drill old bearings or remove the seals to grease them. Farm machinery bearings die of old age because the grease dried up.

My dad taught me that trick too. A drill, a grease needle, and silicone to seal it up till next time.

Good trick and catch em before they get over 60C with a flir one

Actually, I don't use the electric gun on much. Because yes you can overgrease.

I'm putting it down to pressure washing by previous owner.
A 6 inch OD bearing rated for 2600 RPM should have never failed in this application.
Could have taken out the whole shoe.
