Nev-r-lube axles on my Alpenlite
Lots of wheel bearing posts but few addressing the bearings I have. At 5 years, I have a total of 1,260 miles on my 5'ver. That would be 1,200 from the Western RV in Yakima to San Clemente and...

Guess I may not be thinking of same type of bearings. I had a 2001 Alpenlite 5ver, 2 large goose neck stock trailers, and a large BP tandem axle dump trailer. They had zirk fittings. not pemanently packed.
EZ Lube and Never Lube are not the same bearings. EZ lube has the zerk fitting that puts a lot of grease in a hole through the axle and into the inner bearings. For the time and how easy and inexpensive it is to buy a seal and some grease I think it is just as easy to repack and check the brakes at the same time by taking it apart and making sure all is well, not just pushing more grease into the zerk and hoping all is well. And Dexter recommends an annual take it apart inspection for the EZ Lube bearings.
