I have a new Shimano freehub that I'm about to use. Is there a
technique for adding grease to the bearings on each side without
removing the dust seals? Does the freehub body need to be removed?

Thanks,
Art Harris

No, no! The OP was asking about adding grease to the hub bearings, not the cassette body's bearings
(I think- correct me if I'm wrong,
Mr. OP). This is a good move, considering the amount of grease I've seen in brand-new Shimano hubs.

Shimano hubs use standard cup-and-cone ball bearings. Conventional hub overhaul techniques apply:

If you *really* want to overhaul the cassette body, here's how:

If a MTB hub, take off the left side rubber seal, take off the lock nut, loosen the cone so you can
squirt grease into each side. A GOOD idea for all new hubs, BTW..adjust well. If a road hub, no dust
seal to take off.
