Pilot bearing grease

Is there a spec for how much grease to put in the pilot bearing at the fly wheel? I don't see this in the books. Or just put some in there! Its a 2.7.

I just put in a new bearing, and I believe they were oil/greased from the factory. It was clearly lubricated, but with a very thin grease. I added a dab of high temp grease, but am not sure it was necessary. The old pilot bearing had a lot of grease in it, and didn't turn very easily...big difference in how the new one felt...

Don't know about a 2.7 but on my 3.0 I greased it and made sure there was not TOO MUCH with the clutch alignment tool. There seemed to be a nice little recess behind the bearing to catch the grease. You are supposed to grease it, just watch that it doesn't ooze out and get on the flywheel.
