Default HELP PLEASE! To Grease Bearing Spindle or Not to Grease!

Hi, nice to meet you guys, im very new mustang owner btw. Problem im having is im in the process of replacing both front bearings, I have them both off, bought new Nut and bearing, but before i install, am i suppost to grease the spindle the hub fits on or not? My heinz manual says to, but other places say just to clean it up, make sure no dirt on it and they never mention applying grease to it! From what it looks like the hub does not spin on the spindle itself, so it doesnt make sinse to me why i would have grease on it, wouldnt grease on the spindle cause the bearing unit itself to spin? Please help!!

Don't grease the spindle, just make sure the bearing is packed.
