Both threads are normal opposite threads.
Tightening sequence is something like tighten the nuts to 40Nm, then slacken them back off and tighten them as tight as you can WITH YOUR FINGERS!!!! and then fit the castle nut and split pin.
LM Grease should be fine, but any decent bearing kit should have grease with it anyway.
