Wheel Bearing (hub) greasable thru ABS fastener hole?
here is a good shot of the sensor area...
I talked with a guy who actually pulled the bearing assembly apart and repacked it. He took many pics and I tried to get him to do a writeup but he was short on free time...

I used a surenge, i hope i spelled that right, i packed it with grease, then had my buddy spin the hub while i injected the grease, did that twice, it really works well except the part where i broke my ABS sensor removing it, its really not that hard to do just a little time consuming, but well worth since it could yeild alot more time the stockers will last, and at $250+ a peice its kinda worth it!
should i do this on my new rotors? i have like 3000 miles on them and am going to be doing ball joints, and the upgraded steering while im in there i might as well grease them right? oh and if you do this and take everything apart use anti seize it is great!
The ABS provides access to the sealed bearing. Not the same as packing regular bearings but it seems to extend the life so for a squirt or so, why not.

Does anyone have pictures of a hub taken apart? I threw mine out when I put the free-spin setup on and now I'm curious about this "sealed" bearing question. Are the bearings themselves sealed or are they in a closed case that can simply have grease added?
