I like that thought. I will do next time I have them off. Or feel real industrious and not tired !! I hadn't thought of that, thanks.
I would say try a different grease. If it is sticky, once the grease is wiped away then you have zero lubrication. Sticky greases do not flow back into the area needing protection.
Mobile 1 is simply a lithium grease. Forget all the claims and hype synthetic this and that. They claim such and such base stocks.... Funny how they have several poor reviews on their own grease web site. Couple of them are yard/mower related.

Far as Lucas Red, already explained it. Nothing special what so ever. Super tacky that doesn't flow.
What I use is plain old school high temp disc brake bearing grease.

I'm not a brand person. I have this one. I have the moly version of it that is black in color. More than enough for mower spindles.

Those with a spacer between the 2 bearings , at minimum 1 of those 2 bearings needs to be a push fit . ie - the outer race needs to be able to be pushed in with your fingers .
Not sure what you mean by pushing the outer race with fingers. I use my shop press to disassemble and reassemble. Attached is the spindle parts, nothing complicated.
