Should Trailer Hub Grease Seal Be Greased

Question:

I’m installing new seals and bearings and I’m wondering if I need to put a small amount of grease on the rubber inside the lip seal that runs on the spindle. Or should it run dry.

It's not standard practice to put grease on the spindle where the lip of the seal rides so it's not a requirement. It wouldn't hurt to do so though so if you are inclined feel free.
