greasing wheels
Just had the guys at the shop pull my drums. Only one brake was working the other 3 covered in grease. Said I put to much in this spring. Metal on metal so don't over do it with grease

You don't need to renew the grease every year. That's just CYA stuff put out by the vendor. Talk to an old, highly experienced mechanic and he'll tell you the same.
Also, you would need to pump at least half a tube of grease through the hubs to get fresh stuff out the front. A couple of squirts does nothing at all.
I've taken apart front wheel bearings on decades old cars and the grease and bearings were still fine. No way a trailer will destroy grease in a year - or even 5 years.
