Wheel Bearing Maintenance
When do most folks repack their wheel bearings, is it my time, like once a year or more like mileage? Thanks!

I read something on this and it made sense to me. If the trailer does a lot of sitting, the bearings will make marks on the race and therefore should be done once a year. If it does a lot of moving (fulltimers), you can go a lot longer between services. I was wondering this as why should a trailer be done annually while a automobile goes for years between servicing. That is how it was explained to me.

Not buying into the vibration thing much. Heat from friction wear and dirt are biggest enemy of bearings. I think the veterans here have the right idea with normal users going every other year. Adding grease into the hubs creates a concern about blowing past the seals, mostly because folks like to over do everything.
