Wheel Bearings
How often should they be packed?

I would think that in very hot conditions the heat can break down the grease if it's sitting outside in the sun or if a brake heats up but I'll be honest, we just picked up our first fifth and I pulled it about 5 hours to get it home and then put about 6 hours for our first trip so I'm going to go through the entire system before we hit the road next month.
I did check the hubs for heat every time we stopped but I need to know first hand what's going on down there then I'll feel better for a while.
Sand, dirt or just getting kicked around can make a huge difference, I pull two boats to the coast and we have to go through and re-grease and replace parts on a fairly regular basis.
