Why would you go thru the trouble of repacking the bearings and not replace the seals? The seal has to be removed to remove the inner seal anyway and they don't cost much. Just curious.

Every other year for me.

Owner's manual says annually but I repack every other year. Never a problem but I do watch temperatures when towing.

Just had mine checked earlier this year(first time).
Have about 30,000 miles, maybe more.
Had trailer for five years.
They all looked good.
