No grease fitting on my hubs, a HOLE with a PLUG you remove to squirt grease in there. I've seen some write up's on bearing replacement that suggest you check the clearance with dry bearings (no grease) and dial indicator. THEN, you pump in the grease through the plugged hole opening or grease fitting and HOPE it get's into the bearings. I don't like that method. I set my clearance up with dry bearings, then disassemble to I can PACK grease into the bearings and finally reassemble and then squirt more grease in through the hole.

...maybe I don't need to assemble twice, I just like to know my bearings are packed with grease rather than relying on filling the cavity with grease and hoping for the best.
