TT wheel bearings should be good for 30,000 at the least, be for the need to repack. Why would you do it two years in a row, do you use it that much?
Here's another reason for annual inspection. This is the other wheel on the same side. The rollers are pitting on the narrower side of the bearing. The race seems fine.Turtle n Peeps wrote:

Ha - if I tried that I'd end up with the race welded to the drum.
I had a similar problem. After cutting the bearing apart, I found that the Cheap Chinese Bearing (CCB) had a ridge on the inner race from an improper grinding operation.
Never use CCB's.
