Rick,
Interesting question and I'm looking forward to the responses.
Years ago when I was doing my first seal installation, I
stopped in to our local National Guard motor pool to ask
some questions. What a learning experience! They pack
the bearings with plain old chassis grease, the yellowish
stuff, on the initial installation, then leave the outer seal
out so the gear lube takes care of the bearings. I still
pack the bearings with blue or red grease and install both
seals. I'm not so sure that the inner seal would hold up
very long against the light (compared to grease) gear
lube.
