Good evening people I am about to install a set of these hubs and I was curious as to whether you should throw a fair amount of grease in them or just install them as they come??? Thank you

OK thank you for the help. I am going to change the pads this weekend, and do what I can to keep them from coming out again. YIKES !!! Are you supposed to adjust them periodicaly as the pads wear??? Also just a recap to make sure I got this right. New pads and put the drum back on (with or without a wheel?) adjust the fork turn barrel thing so there is a little drag or slight contact with the drum from the pads. Anything else I should concern myself with ??

Here was an interesting problem I had yesterday. I heard this metalic rubbing noise from the right rear wheel. It wasn't loud and i was about 1/2 a mile from my destination. About 50 yards from work there was a horrible CRUCH and the whole vehicle lurched really bad then just kept on going. OOOOKAYYYY HMMMM this can't be good. So I pulled the Drum off (Never done this before and was proud of myself for figuring this one out) and these two fork looking things fell to the floor. I figured out where they went to and I noticed there is an adjustment by means of a threaded rod. 1. How / Why did this fall out ?? 2. What is the proper way to adjust this ?? The brake pads are worn and I will be replacing them soon. Any advice or pitfalls I should look out for ??
