Factory Bearings - do they need to be repacked?

[Rob T]

I will be installing new bearings in the rear wheels of my 818R. They are factory bearings from Subaru. They come assembled as a "cartridge". Are they greased, properly and ready to install, or do they need to be repacked with some other grease? If so, what should I use?

I want to do this once and get it right.

They should be packed from the factory. Did you get the seals from Subaru as well?

[Rob T]

Yes. Got all of the seals. All three of them. Both inside seals were missing on my car, at least the left side.

Wow, that could not have been good!
