Hi all, I'm new.

I'm trying to fix up an old bike. The left pedal makes a very strong click on down stroke, so I thought I would re-pack the grease. When I disassembled the left pedal, the outer race has 10 bearings, and the inner race has 12 bearings. The right pedal has 13 bearings in both outer/inner race. How many bearings are there supposed to be in each race? Do I need more bearings, or can I shuffle them for 12 bearings in each race?

I found this white lithium grease in my garage. It's opaque white, and a little runnier than the old grease that was in the pedals before. Is it good for this purpose? My local bike shop has the park tools polylube that I see people use in youtube videos, but I'm hesitant to get that giant tub when I'm only working on my one bike.
