No need to have any more grease than a thin swipe on the bronze bushings. Often morons pump way way to much grease into those fittings when all they require is maybe one pump each/year or so. Just get the old grease out the best you can. If you soak it in a varsol tank it'll loosen up. It's not hurting anything in there unless you sandblast the drumb...then all that grease will be impregnated with abbrasive..& that's not too cool.
