"Grease wheel center hubs"

Mentioned on the service schedule, I'm not quite sure how to do this, any thoughts?

Maybe I'm wrong but, I would interpret that as you need to repack the wheel bearing with bearing grease???

Sounds like a good guess. It should of been "grease wheel bearing" if that was the case. Anyone done this themselves before? It sould be done every oil change according to schedule...

Actually I think it might just be putting a little grase on the hub so the wheel doesn't seize to it.

Yup, I gotta remind my self each year to do it when putting on the winter set-up.

Makes for a lot less wrastling when putting back the summers after driving in snow/slush/salt for a few months.
