Default Lubrication for Drum Bearing?

I just bought the AP2619300 drum bearing kit for a GE DS4550 dryer. I replaced the original bearing a few years ago, but didn't replace the front slides and I think that contributed to the recurring bearing failure. The instructions with the kit say to clean all old grease off the diffuser. They don't say anything about greasing the new bearing, which is dry. Has something changed, i.e. if there was originally grease and now there isn't, or did they forget to say to grease the bearing? If it is supposed to be greased, with what?
