Lubricated rear hub today...
Hi. Took considerable amount of grease, somewhere around 2 cubic inches. All went well.
Removed wheel,
Separated sensor wire from clips,
Removed two 13mm - 12 point bolts holding the caliper bracket from hub,
Pulled the whole caliper assembly without disturbing pads,
Removed disc,
Removed speed sensor and o-ring,
Fed grease with hand pump until overflowed by the outer hub seal, with a plastic tip from a silicone dispenser, cut to fit :

Perhaps will help someone.

Just preventive maintenance.
For the three amigos -sensor related- I hook an oscilloscope by the ABS computer input connector to monitor the senders correct waveform presence or not. No tail chasing that way.
Grease or lack of it should not impair a healthy sensor signal.
Edited: Done with the other side. Road tested. Smooth and very quiet. Am happy.
