First thing is probably find out whether it's a standard cup and cone setup or a newer cassette setup. Traditional cup and cones, you can regrease it with a grease gun if it has a grease port or simply remove and regrease and or replace bearings/cups if necessary. A newer hub may come with a replaceable cassette with the bearings already "pressed" in such that all you can do is regrease and replace the whole bearing assembly. Either way, it's not that difficult, as long as you have the right tools and spanners to take the hub apart. Diagram everything as you take it apart so you know exactly how to reassemble it.
