     Does it have a grease zert ? If so it would be greasable, my guess if not it is sealed.

I think they have a weird looking plug type deal, I don’t know how to use it but maybe you have to use another zert in it place then replace it when you’re done

It should be a flat grease fitting that you use a needle extension on the grease gun tip.
