Default Greesing the bearings

I can't remember, but I thought when I was a teenager my dad and I greesed some of the barrings assosiated with the wheels. Was I thining Of something else (1990 honda accord)?? IS there bearings in that need to be regreesed?? How often? My car rolls fine, but I noticed at stop lights when I'm rolling, the car stop fairly aggressivly like there is minor strain on the wheels. I.E. it will not roll down real slight hills. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the bearings? If they exsist... Thanks for your help...

You cannot grease the bearings (roller bearings). They are sealed.

what you're thinking of are taper roller bearings like you would have on a RWD domestic. they go onto the spindle inside the brake rotors and need to be greased when they are installed.

there is nothing like this on your honda. hondas have double-row angular contact ball bearings (..not roller bearings) that come preassembled as a unit, and are greased and sealed at the factory.

you won't notice draging from a wheel bearing, you'll hear them. think skateboard with metal wheels on the asphalt... that's what it sounds like to me.

like has been said already, you're brakes are the more likely culprit of dragging. also, low tire pressure can increase rolling resistance. check these out before worrying anymore about bearings.

No worries.
Honda (in it's infinite wisdom) has designed their cars with permantly sealed dual roller bearing at all four wheels. They are NOT serviceable separately; which means that IF you have a problem it's gonna included a whole bunch 'o aggravation. (Ie: Hub Assembly as opposed to just the bearing.)
I'd put the car up in the air to determine if you've a wheel that doesn't spin freely.
