This was a tip I (we) got from Dennis Haynes. With axle nut/flange removed and a thin needle on a grease gun, I pumped in grease at several different points between each roller bearing til I saw new grease come out. fun pic: https://goo.gl/photos/Ymk2UZgHoyTsZHi79 wipe off excess. Different colour grease obviously helps in this case. I did this b/c I was "in there" doing other work. If the bearings et al are noisy, would new grease help that much?
