I just got done replacing outer bearings and seals in my knuckles and put it back together. What I did forget to do was fill my knuckle up with grease. The birfields did have grease on them, but service manual says fill it up. Can I take out the plug on top of the knuckle and pump some grease into it with my grease gun?

Yep.

Should I put a whole tube of grease in it? I think I also need to put more grease into the whell bearing area. I packed my bearings, but then the fsm said to out some inside the hub between the bearings, as long as there packed good, does it still need it? I found this out after I had put it back together and then read the fsm, what an idiot!

No need for a whole tube. If you greased the wheel bearings and birfs you should be fine, but adding perhaps a 1/4 to 1/2 tube per side would be good insurance.

Never hurts to be over lubed.

Well, I think Ill probably tear down to the wheel bearings again and through some more grease in there. Ive burnt up wheel bearings before and Im not a big fan of it. I appreciate your guys help. Now I just need to fix my brakes. I replaced my master and now Im having a hell of a time getting the air out of the system!!
