Shortly after the first flight, it was time to grease the prop, per the Hartzell manual. I picked up a Lincoln Lubrication 1134 Heavy Duty Pistol Grip Grease Gun with Whip Hose and Rigid Pipe for the purpose and used Aeroshell #6, as that is what the hub was originally filled with at the factory. It took only 4 or 5 pumps on each side to fill it up properly.
Here's the hub with the one fitting removed so I could see whilst pumping from the other side.
Pumping in progress. I just continued until I saw grease start to come out of the other side.
