I used to just take out the plug and hold the grease gun coupler against
it, than I put grease fittings in place of the plug. Think I just used
the grease in the gun, not wheel bearing grease. Now at 205,000 miles
and 45+ years I am changing the outer cup of the bearing as it has
become quite rough at the top where the rollers contact it. There was
plenty of grease on them but not so much that it was coming out on the
brakes. Hope that helps but I can't imaging that wheel bearing seizing
due to lack of grease.

I finally had the presence of mind to do a more careful review of the factory service and repair manual and found that there are plugs where the bearing are located and these are to be removed and “short fiber” grease used to lubricate these bearings. Seems like years ago I had this sort of grease in a can for greasing front bearings. In order to inject the grease, am I supposed to remove the plug and install a grease fitting so I can use my grease gun? My manual is not specific on that.
