Of course if the hubs are never serviced, then they eventually will be trashed. Couple that with a difficult to remove freewheel and you're looking at a new wheel.
I've repacked hubs without pulling freewheels before. Cleaning the driveside race requires a small and strong pinky finger. Of course I imagine a box of Q-tips with a proper bend imparted on them would work also. When reassembling take a solid axle, the end without a cone on it and insert it from the non-drive-side so that the end is protruding past the race about 1/8" or so. This will keep bearings from dropping right through and will help guide them into the greased race. Use your pinky or Q-Tips to really set the bearings into the grease and then pull the axle out.
Then put axle in the right way and pack the non-drive side.
