Not sure which "end caps" you are talking about, Paul. If you mean the dust
caps for the front wheel bearings, then no, there is not supposed to be a
grease fitting there (although no doubt some people put one in). The hole
is for a forcing screw, theoretically used to remove the cap without
damaging it. The 10-32 forcing screw is supposed to be part of the standard
tool kit.
Personally, I don't like that hole, I feel it lets dust and grit into the
bearing, shortening it's life. So, I thread a short 10-32 flat-head screw
into the hole from inside the cover, and lock it with a nut on the outside.
Then I can grab the protruding end of the screw with vise grips to pull the
cap off when needed.
