I think the real question is, can you ever put too much grease in a bearing?
I'd think most are 'self regulating' in a sense as they'll expel what they don't 'need'.
I could be wrong on this too.
I do remember Dad always had us boys repack the trailer bearings before each and every vacation. We got good at it since it was a tandem axle trailer. We never had a bearing failure, like Dad did when he went on a family trip to Alaska back in 1948 and they had a bearing go out in the middle of nowhere on the Alcan highway.
I think that's where his discipline of repacking before each trip came from.
