I think this question could get a few different opinions, so heres mine
CLEAN every thing
pack the bearings with a good HI-TEMP grease for use in disc brakes
also put grease on the races and between the races inside the hub
( E-Z Lube hubs or buddy bearing style will fill the void between bearings when you pump grease in the zerk, BUT be careful when pumping you could push the seal out of the hub, I like to jack up the wheel and turn it you will notice after a few turns it will pump easier again )
install new seals and set wheel bearing tension ( recheck tension, loose bearings will not last long )

i recommend putting a blob of grease in the palm of your hand then kinda slab the bearing into it rollers first while rotating it. unless you have a bearing packer i find this way works best.

blue missle is right if packing by hand, grease in palm and slap the bearing into it (larger round end against grease) until grease starts to come out the other side, then rub grease around the rollers and on the races, put some extra between the races in the hub
