Default Mainwheel bearing service / greasing?

After more than 40 years since manufacturing and about 2500 starts/landings was the bearings out of service on my LS1. Changed then with two new SKF bearings for about $8 each.
Have I lubed the the old ones, no they had rubber sealings wich effective makes lubing difficult, after consulting the SKF manual, these bearings do not require any kind of lube. They are the install and forget kind.
