No you can not Lubricate the front wheel bearings, They are factory SEALED bearings.
Must REPLACE the bearings with new ones.
IF the bearing is noisy then the balls inside are damaged. Lubrication will do nothing to help. Replace only
You don't Get it! The question was to address lubricating the bearings through the port for the anti-lock sensor before any damage occurs - do you wait to add oil to the engine until the bearings start to grind? I repaired office equipment fore 30 years and understand the need for proper maintenance. At $500.00 per bearing and the fact they are a problem - made in China- a little 90 weight oil added before there is a problem seems logical? I took the old bearing and added oil and after working it a while it improved - still dammaged thought!
Maybe you work for the Chinese? Your contradictory answers amuse me. If you know all the answers why ask? If you "lubricated and worked it a while and it improved" then how was there not a problem as you stated. Maybe I do work for the Chinese......maybe your an idiot. Who knows, but i think your answer speaks for itself. Maybe you can add a little rubber to your tires so they don't wear out as quickly. Surely you figure something out to save a few bucks

Should i Replace bearings or buy new engine?
It all depends on the bearings that you need to replace! Get some quotes! If it is bearings inside the engine, then the mechanic you go to is going to have pull the engine anyways, so if there are no other problem with your engine but some bearings then i would just have the bearing replaced, but if you have other problems due to the bearings going out, then i would replace the engine. Hope i helped
What serious problems can standard transmissions have?
Fluid Problems Low fluid is probably the most common transmission problem.Solenoid Problems A problem related to fluid levels is a faulty solenoid. Needle Bearings There are several problems that can occur with the torque converters in transmission systems. The first is that the needle bearings of the converter--which separate the stator, impeller, turbine and converter housing--can be worn. If you hear noises from the transmission except while in neutral, the bearings most likely are the culprit. Clutch The clutch within the torque converter can jam.
Does grease come out if having problems with wheel bearings?
If it is not a sealed bearing then this is normal, in fact bearings must periodically be repacked. However if it is a newer vehicle with sealed bearing then this could mean a possible seal that has pushed out.

Axel and pilot bearings are two different things. The pilot bearing soes in the endd of a crankshaft and the axel bearings are on the axels. Neither should cause transfer case problems.
