greasing

Hi I took the rear wheel the other day to change the tire. I notice it said in the manual to grease the thread of the wheel spindle and the collar nut, but shouldn't I grease the entire spindle (i.e the part that goes through the wheel) ? Thanks Mati

Did a re-grease & check on my head stem bearings a week or so ago, managed to hold the forks and pack grease into the bottom bearings and do the top bearing / whack a bit of extra grease into the head yube for good measure, so didnt actually remove the whole box and dice. once I had it back...
