Glad that that works for you, but on a couple of occasions I discovered a little water ingress into my bearings, I wouldn't have seen that by just pumping more grease in. The other thing to bear in mind is that at some point dirty grease from the inner bearing is going to make its way to the outer bearing. It doesn't take me long to disassemble, clean and repack. I can also check out the brakes thoroughly when doing this.
