I'm not sure exactly how much grease you will need to add to the hub when via Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like # BB1938, but the automatic pressure-relief feature on the cap makes this process pretty easy. You essentially will add grease using a grease gun like #PTW54290 until you start to see grease seep out of the seal around the piston.

The above mentioned Bearing Buddies are designed to fit a 1.938" hub bore. This is the closest option available to the 1.9" size you mentioned. You may want to measure your hub bore diameter with a digital caliper just to be sure this will fit.

For a good bearing grease I recommend the UltraLube # L11390.
