My car has developed a very high pitched whine/whistle coming from the drivers rear wheel. Seems to take 15-20 minutes for the whine to begin. Can eliminate temporarily by pulling up emergency brake or swerving car f/ side to side. Brakes? Bearing? If bearing, is there a grease fitting?

I would bet it's the bearing. Heats up, it gets looser. Brake and lateral motion put sideways pressure on it removing play. No grease fitting - time to replace the bearing.

I think you need a bearing press. Not exactly a tool most of us have lying about. I was lucky to have the dealer replace mine under warranty (years ago).
