    good luck getting them out without tools made to. they are only less than $25 for a new set so when i question them i just replace them. I usually wind up getting pissed and just tearing them apart to get them out.

    I almost positive the rear wheel bearings are sealed and not greaseable.

    IF there is no play or rumble you can generally pick out the plastic seal and push some more grease through.

    The bearings normally are sealed on one side only with the seal facing out.

    When in doubt replace, new seals, no troubles.

    Don't forget to grease all your rear linkages and head bearings once and a while too.
    Pain to do but those bearings cost serious money versus your time and 50 cents worth of grease.

    just pop off the dust seal , then remove the dust seal on the bearing, small pick type tool. use a small brush to push grease into bearing ,or use a needle tip for your grease gun to force the new grease into your bearing.
    reinstall bearing seal then the dust cover and your go to go. I have my son do this about once a month takes about a 1/2 hr to do both wheels. We do all the bearings about once a month , wheels , linkage ,swingarm, stering stem.. Never any bearing issues..
