How to grease a CREAKING Shimano 12 speed Micro Spline free hub (SLX, XT, XTR)

Shimano latest 12 speed MTB freehub family, including SLX, XT, and XTR, quite often brings the same problem of CREAKING under load. It typically occurs when you clock around 500 kms (300 miles) on a new hub. These hubs are flawed by design and tend to fail pretty quickly, unfortunately. The only thing we can do is regular maintenance, in particular - greasing.

My other videos on these freehubs (M7110, M8110, M9110):
