Default 2003 Honda Recon rear axle bearing making a noise

Hey guys my 2003 recon left rear axle (seated facing forward) bearing is squeaking. I greased it and it kind of went away ,but if I turn it hard or ride it for 10 minutes it starts to squeak. After if you feel it ,it is warm to the touch. Should I grease it more ,and see if it gets better ,or replace it. Is it hard to replace any hints how to replace it?
Thanks

Replace it. They are not greaseable. Not sure of the procedure though.

Its your carrier bearings, replace it asap , before it eats out the housing forcing you to buy a new axle.

Weekend job, couple beers, 2 hours later your ready to roll.
