Found a very cheap source for 265.1 grease on Amazon - also beginner bearing question

After searching for some time on here for a source for Mercedes spec bearing grease, I looked up their list of approved grease from other manufacturers and found a decent one on Amazon Prime. The only issue is you need to by a case of 10 tubes at a total of $24.99. Each tube is 12oz, so this is many times cheaper than purchasing the small 150g tubes from the other online retailers at $7-$8.

Its Chevron Starplex EP2, heres the link:

Also, I have never seen a bearing like the one I ordered for my GL350. Admittedly, I have only seen two other bearings for an older car 15 years ago when I replaced them. Is this a sealed bearing that does not require packing, or is there a way to separate the bearing and pack in grease?

Thank you for the help on bearing, I know this is a basic question. I found a shop to remove old one and press in new one tomorrow. This is the bearing for the right front that I purchased.

Thank you.
