Wheel Bearing follow up
As a follow up to Poppy's 5th wheel post on greasing wheel bearings, my question is how often do you grease your wheel bearings. My Dexter book says 12 months or 12,000 miles. I think that is over...

There is a saying..."If it ain't broke...Don't fix it." And it seems to relate to another one of Murphy's laws...."If you fix something often enough, eventually it will break."
I subscribe to both theories/Laws. And I know hat once you take a good operating bearing out of it's normal working environment, and introduce it to an outside environment, no matter how careful one is, there is always a possibility of making a problem occur. PM is good. Within scientific reason. I see no real good scientific reason for yearly bearing maintenance. Especially when no problem is indicated.
