I use a sharp pick to remove the dust seals and the free needles from the lower shock bearing, which is at the front of the rocker/knuckle/arm. I purchased the following pick set from Harbor Freight, which comes in handy for many jobs.

You can apply grease to the bearings with your fingers, or small brushes. I usually employ small shop brushes, which I also bought from Harbor Freight.
