IF you were rotating your wheel, grease should have been coming back out around where you were pumping it in. If you weren't rotating your wheel, you may have blown a seal.

On the other hand, there's been reports of not enough grease in brand new hubs. First time I greased ours I used up about 3/4 of a tube to get clean grease coming back out. Now I only use about 1/4 to 1/2 a tube.
