I have a squeaking noise on my right side
On my front right front wheel area, I have a squeaking noise when I turn right, it don't do it all the time, just when I turn hard right. The left side doesn't do it, just the right. Not a constant noise, just a squeak. Do I need to take the boot off and ppack with grease, and how do I need to do that? DO I take off the tire, or can I take off the clamps and do it from the outside?

It sounds like you have a bad bearing in the right side, you will problaby NOT be able to fix it yourself as the bears are pressed in. The Spindle will have to be removed(not to hard to do)and take it with a new set of bearings to a shop and have them replace the bearings.....the cheapest way to go.

May be a wear bar on the brake pad.. that can cause a squeak under certain conditions.
The bearing as it goes will begin to howl all the time when the grease works its way out.
Keep an eye on the boot if you see bluish black grease you know it is fresh. (problem then is a cracked boot so this is not the best method)
Also the boot itself can fill with grease and then pop.
if the noise happens a bunch duplicate the condition and have a mechanic listen to it.
A bad bearing is a bad bearing and it will make a common easily recognized noise to a trained ear.
That said I would have to think that since it is the same principal just smaller an auto mechanic could listen and tell if the bearing is the issues.
Hopes this helps.

Sandhog is right if the boot is full that means the bearing is shot. (and would most likely be screaming at you)
I like the air compressor idea 1st.
The hub or wheel bearing if it is the issue will only get worse with time as the grease works it's way out of the pressed bearing.
The noise will then become a constant.
Good luck.
