If your rig has disk brakes pump away while having someone spin the tire for you. Drums, take your chances!!!
I think that is a fair statement, too many times I have read about grease on drum brakes, spinning the tire or not. IMO nothing replaces packing wheel bearings by hand .
Buying a new rig, often times there is very little grease on the bearings, and I would not be afraid to add a quality bearing grease using the EZ system. Buying a used rig, I'd want to do an inspection of brake parts and bearings, then a good hand pack. Now after doing that, and knowing all is well, next time I'd use the same grease from hand pack, pump it through the EZ zerks, call it good. IMO, a good bearing pack is good for several years, maybe 3-5 yrs, depending on use.

4 years full timing never looked at my bearings. I use AMZ/OIL Synthetic Grease. It flows easily, with the cap removed I have tire off the ground and keep on pumping while rotating the tire un til mostly red grease appears. All the while I wipe off the old grease coming out. I grab the tires at each edge and give a push pull test.
This Summer I do plan on replacing the inner seals with the proper oil bath National seals so I can run AMZ/OIL SevereGear 75-90 instead of grease.
