Expert Reply:
If you have EZ lube spindles with the grease fitting on the end, as seen in the video you are referring to for Replacement Trailer Hub Bearing # LM11949, you will just fill until the new grease starts to come out of the spindle.
If you don't have spindles with the grease fitting and you are referring to the grease fitting on a Bearing Buddy like Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1781, then there is an over-fill protective spring that allows grease to overflow out of the cap when it's full.
Finally, if you don't have a grease fitting then you will just want to repack the bearing by hand.
