Default Adding Grease to Hubs?

Any good way to add grease to the sealed hubs on the disco II? I know the last mechanic blew out some of the grease in one hub, can I replace it with other high-pressure grease?

For all intents and purposes, the hubs are no servicable.

Sorry I should have phrased that better. I don't know about rebuilding hubs or packing bearings. If I fill the hub with new grease is it going to cause any issues? I'm thinking hydraulic pressure issues like say if you over-filled a diff etc. I'm guessing no. If it's ok then adding some to the abs sensor hole to replace what the mechanic blew out with compressed air would hopefully prevent premature failure of that hub. I realize this isn't the common case, but I witnessed him blow it out.

Won't help a thing and can cause the excess grease to heat up and works it's way out onto your brakes.
