They are packed before installing at the factory. High quality grease shouldn't run out when hot outside but I'll clean it out when I rebuild it all and depending on how messy and how the old bearings look from not having any added grease over the last 25 years will determine if I add any again.

OK, I'm lazy. You get that way at 70 years old.
Reading the comments about not filling the neck with grease through the grease fitting. So why did Harley put the fitting there?
What if I use high temp grease, maybe it won't leak out on my shiny black fender, you think?
