Good tip, grease or no grease, you will want to protect your bearing races from the effects of sand blasting.

oh I quite agree. I have taken all the races and cups out. What you see in the photo is the edge that the cups drive up against. This way I should have no sand at all once I have cleaned them once more and blown them out. Well hopefully less than driving in the western desert may have ingested.
