Chris King Bearings lube

Hi brains trust, I have a pair of Chris King iso hubs that are 12 months old and due for some bearing love according to their documentation. I have lubed the rear ring drive no probs with the recommended moto oil but I now am struggling to figure out is what lube/grease to use on the bearings once you pick off the seals.. Do you have to actually lube the bearings regularly? it’s all a bit vague in the king info.
Thanks

I use standard waterproof grease that I use in all bearings.

Inside the hubs, I use Finish Line wet lube. The hub get dis-assembled with a large pin punch and tapped back together with a socket.

Decent hubs... but all this propriety grease and tools is nonsense.

Reckon my hubs have been serviced 6-8 times and well over 15,000km on them.

Cracked open the front hub this arvo, cleaned and freshly lubed the bearings. They spin lovely now. Thanks for the tips.
