Powerflex front sway bar bushing maintenance

I have a big front suspension job coming up and picked up some powerflex polyurethane front sway bar bushings. I heard they need to be lubed at certain intervals.

1. What is the mileage interval for lubing?
2. Can the bushings be lubed without part removal?
3. Is there some kind of fitting you can get to make lubing them easier? I'm a total n00b, but someone mentioned I should look for a zerk fitting?
