I wash the bearings to inspect for pitting and wear. After you wash you dry the bearings. I have washed the grease out of bearings and the rollers fell out of the cage, the bearing was worn out. I also remove the old grease from the hub.
Unless the inner race contacts the packer preventing the grease from entering the bearing. Depends on the bearing. It will always work the way he as it in the pic.
It is supposed to come out the bottom. If you look at pic the grease as come from between the rollers at the bottom, just like it should.
I use this same type packer on a weekly basis when I service the wheel bearings on the trailers that are under our towable pumps.
