For the unit bearings, you can lube them through the ABS port.




For the needle bearings that carry the stub shaft, that generally has to be lubed by removing the hub - but...

Y2K has a method in the Tech folder to grease those bearings while still mounted.

FTN has suggested you can lube them through the vacuum port, if you have manual lock hubs (not using the stock vacuum lock hubs). I want to try this once I get the right sized zerk fittings.
