you lubricate them by buying new wheel bearings.

you can repack them with grease. But if you notice any noise from them; chances are they are shot and you need new ones. I recommend you change them soon before they damage the spindale which required replacing the hub.

You can grease the bearings, use some high temp wheel bearing grease and spread it evenly across the metal balls.
