i think the fronts are sealed...rear are you talking pivot or carrier? The pivot bearings have zerks but the carrier does not but is "supposed" to be sealed. I have seen people drill and tap it for a greese zerk also. I wouldn't go any farther into it than removing the axle though, since the carrier bearings are pressed in.

r u sure squeek is coming from hub and not the shock bolt. if u remove shock and grease up bushing squeek might go away.
