Grease fittings can be installed which makes life allot easier.
All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

the rear bearings are sealed so unless you have a grease fitting theres not much you can do. if its turning hard because of the bearings they are probly shot anyway. make sure its not the chain or caliper hanging up. ride it some and see if it loosens up

I pop the seals off the bearings on the side facing in, drill and tap a hole somewhere in the middle, throw a zerk in it and load it with grease. I try to make it a habit of pulling the axle and carrier out of the swinger a cpl times a year to re-pack. Also by doing this, it ensures that you axle nut doesnt ever became a problem getting off. I do this to all my bikes, I even do the front hubs. If its packed with grease, water cant get in and turn your bearings into crustys. Keep up with it and you bearings last for a long time. Grease is your friend.
