Can someone point me towards how to grease my Deore XT rear hub?

My rear hub's bearings must have almost no grease left on them as they are making one hell of a racket. Sounds like it is on the gear cassette side.

I'm stupid so if any one has any tips I would appreciate it very much. I hope it isn't sealed as I don't feel like spending money on a new hub since I just experienced having to replace and basically pay for a new Bullit frame. Stupid 6061 frame, broke in three places.

Thanks.

your first take it apart with the wrenches. You take out the axle and youl see how the hub is. Then just take the grease and shove it all over around in the hub. You cant really have to much grease. Just try to get alot on the bearings.

Excellent thanks.

I printed the exploded view from Shimano's website so hopefully I won't have too many extra parts left over!

make sure you keep track of all the bearings. It will really mess it up even without one of the little balls.
