Hi Andrew, The bearing keep/valve packing I used was 7/16" square, Its graphite lubricated, It does not spill out grease when it gets hot, it's nuclear grade and has a max temp of something like 450 dergrees C, 20 m/s speed and I was told it cost £150 a metre by my freindly storekeeper. I think it sounds as if your packings is too tight, On a universal carrier with the track removed, the hub should spin freely with very little effort to spin them, I would remove your hubs to check the seal and perhaps take a 'rasp file' to it to profile it down.
Like Jordan says, run the carrier on a hard surface to free the tracks. kevin.
