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

For me, it was more on mileage. We simply don't go very far, or very often (dangit!). I'd hit the EZLubes every year with about 6-10 shots of grease and call it good. When I had all the bearings and seals replaced in 2014, after 10 years, the shop said they were all still in good condition, there was no noticeable slop and I'd had almost no grease leakage past the seals. The bearings and seals that went back in will outlast the FW, that's for sure. :-) Under $150 and included adjusting the brakes. That being said, if you tow 10k miles a year, yeah, a yearly repack might not be a bad idea.
