Steve,

Pack those bearings with a non fibrous grease such as Mobil 1 
synthetic grease. This will not interfere with the action of the 90 
wt. that you are going to fill the case with. The grease should, in 
my opinion, be of the same type as the lube, that is both dino, or 
both synthetic.

As Jim said, the grease will help lubrication while things break in.
