I had similar concerns after reading others' views on the topic - mainly, wash out and use your own choice of grease , and quantity. - of same Koyo bearings and era. I contacted Koyo themselves to ask and they assured me the quality, standard and amount of grease was of the highest standard. I went with this over a year ago with no issues so far. Others prefer not to leave any air space either, and choose to absolutely pack the cavity with their chosen grease to reduce chances of water getting at the bearings. My application hardly sees a damp cloth, let alone a puddle or river crossing. If it did, I may have done the same as others - own choice of grease and lots of it
