im in the process of putting my rear radius arms back together, and i have bought some new grease. how important is it for me to flush out the old grease so that i can pump the new grease into the pivot bearing?

can i just clean the outside of the shaft? then pump new grease through the nipple after putting it all back together? or do i have to get the old grease out of the INSIDE of the shaft too?
