How Often to Pack Wheel Bearings
How often should I get the wheel bearings repacked? Had to replace axles about a year ago and the guy told me I should probably repack the bearings once a year since I only take a few trips a year. ...

To do a proper job you need to jack it up and rotate the wheel while pumping grease in my hand. It will take about 1/2 a tube to fill the cavity between the bearings and force some grease through and out of the front bearing. This is how they work. Once filled then a few pumps might do the job. I prefer to pack mine the old fashioned way.
A couple pumps would be plenty with that few of miles. I know you don't want to over do it. JMHO

I assumed they had grease in them all ready. He has been using the trailer.
