Wheels go round and round

Good morning everyone. How often does everyone pack the wheel bearing on their trailers?

Annually, every spring, as part of the preseason tune up.

HAND PACKED annually along with inspecting all suspension parts & brakes. Would not recommend using the EZ Lube (grease zerks on the spindles) feature, too much possibility of grease seals leaking & contaminating the brakes.

Annually after our return home from Southern California, Hand pack the bearings, and make a close inspection of all the brake components. Take an extra good look at the rollers on the outer wheel bearings. never ever rely on the easy lube grease zerks as there's a big chance that you could be pumping grease past the seal and into the brakes
