Lightbulb This ain't rocket science, guys!

You clean out the old packing grease with solvent (i.e. as in "parts washer") and air-dry (a blower, hairdrier) vs. using compressed air (higher pressures can damage the bearings) and pack them, either by hand (palm, actually) or with a bearing packer as mentioned above with THE BEST SYNTHETIC BEARING GREASE you can find.
