I look at it like i would never rebuild an engine without lube nor any bearings, even on a manual tranny i would use some assy lube. Go look at where your fill plug is in relation to the hubs, its actually below the hub level, the hubs get gear lube by the lube being flung around and cornering ect. So how far down the road would you get before the bearings get properly lubricated? The grease will eventually dissolve into the gear lube.

Here's another thread for reference:

Just take a hard left and then a hard right

Thanks for the info from the manual. If not using grease, I'd still put assembly lube or gear lube on them. The question is whether to pack or just dip in lube. Still thinking I will just pakc since its not a big deal
