Tony,I disagree! What I said is correct.
You need to look a little closer.
The non greaseable carrier(Ford call it a "Hub")09B-7561 has a flat surface that the "sealed for life" bearing sits against. The greaseable carrier(Hub, C09B-7561) has a hole that takes grease through to the bearing retainer, but it also has another hole that feeds grease to the bearing. The face that the bearing sits against is hollow, which allows grease to travel around between the bearing and the carrier, until it finds a hole in the back of the SE51-7580 bearing, which IS greased at the same time as the"hub" is greased on the bearing retainer.
I will also add that there is a third and fourth hole. These allow grease to the working faces of the 7515 fork.
Installing them the way Peter had it would not have helped.
