I will try to explain the over packing, of the grease, and what is happening.
Think of it like wading through water, and your legs represent the bearings.
If you wade through ankle deep water, try wading as fast as you can, somewhat easy, yes?
Now wade in hip deep water and go as fast as you can.
Much more resistance and harder to get up to speed.
This is what the bearings experience if some of it cannot be moved out of its path.
I hopes this helps y'all.
