Been there, done that.

Mechanic overtorques bearing. Result: bearing lasted 1000 miles.

Mechainc uses original packing grease mixed with synthetic. Result: bearing lasted 6000 miles.

Mechanic cleans packing grease and puts in synthetic. Result: 15000 miles later, I'm still a happy camper.

YMMV.
