Shimano Nexus 7 with coaster brake

I have a bike equipped with a Shimano Nexus 7 speed coaster brake hub,
about 4 years old. It has seen little use (about 15 miles), never been
wet, and is stored in a controlled environment. I started riding it
again after a two year rest and I am getting a scraping/ squealing
sound when I apply the brakes. It sounds like a grease issue, but with
so few miles on it??? If so does it require partial disassembly to
apply grease? I understand some Shimano's have ports but I can't
find one.

Thanks for the reply. I found this link earlier. I think this applies
to the roller (Drum) brake type and not the coaster brake type. Am I
missing something?

Sheldon only discusses on how to lube the roller brake through the
grease port, the OP is wondering about a coaster version. From what I
know, it's a normal coaster brake, just disassemble and relube the
metal brake shoes with some high temp grease.

I used to use the roller brake in very nasty weather, so I'd take it
off yearly, flush with solvent and repack with Phil's grease--you don't
need the Shimano grease for the roller-brake.
