Quck wheel bearing question.....

I am currently reassembling my rear end for the Dodge WC half ton and seem to have hit a snag.

When re-installing the rear bearings, do you grease them, or just apply significant oil, the type that is in the differential. It is all connected and that is what would normally lubricate them anyway. Can seem to find an answer in my book, and I am leaning towards pouring the oil on "not too much" before the axles go back in. Thinking ahead, after I add the correct level to the differential, I could see-saw the axle before putting the springs back on to make sure oil gets down towards the bearings.

Any advice is appreciated.
