Grease fittings
Couldn't quite find the answer i was looking for when I searched previous threads. I found out that the front suspension arms have zerks on them. I am wondering if the rear wheel bearings have zerks on them. Or does the greae have to be pressed in with a bearing press? Thanks guys

No grease fittings on the rear. Sealed bearings only.
As you discovered there are 8 grease fittings on the font A-arms, 4 per side. Those are the only grease fittings.

Has anyone tried giving the rear wheel bearings a shot of synthetic grease with a grease needle.

If you're going to go that far into the rear wheel, why not replace the bearings

probably "someone" has. Of course that is going to violate that bearing's seal. So when things warm up a little, it can fling the grease
in the OTHER direction...out. Messy too.

Why not "pop" the seal on the exposed side with a fine/flat screwdriver, rub some grease over the bearings and work it in. Then replace the seal, paying attention to make sure they are seated properly?? Mad Mac

Thanks guys for your ideas. Just thought it would not hurt to service the bearings when have the wheel off to change a tire.
Thanks
