Grease the spindle?

I have a 1976 Cordoba and I am redoing the front brakes. In addition to the wheel bearings, does the spindle need to be greased? When I took the front rotor off the spindle was covered in grease, even more than the picture shows. Some came off on the towel that I was covering it with while I removed the backing plate. The FSM does not seem to speak to this. Thank you.
