       There can be grease fittings if you install them.  I did this on my 
'87 and can now grease the rear wheel bearings easily.  Got to be careful not 
to pump too much grease in as it will pop the inner seal.  Get two grease 
fittings.  Find the centre of the bearing housing and locate an appropriate 
location for the grease fitting so that it will have easy access for your 
grease gun.  Drill and tap a hole in each housing for the grease fittings.  
Screw in the grease fitting.  That's it that's all.
