5000 miles is really pushing it with the wheel bearings. Recommended interval for pulling them down and repacking is 3000 miles or annually as far as I know. Should be in the owner's manual. You can stretch that if you trust the E-Z lube axles to not wreck the dust seal and fill your brake drum with grease.
Really, really telling on how most trailer OEMs go just enough in their

Cars, trucks, etc are mostly cartridge front wheel bearings these days

most are not greasable)
Meaning...the trailer OEMs sized their bearing just big enough for their
published ratings...plus just a bit to last past warranty...
Personally dislike these El Cheapo lug nuts...worst is when they come
apart 'internally' and just spin...leaving the real lug nut inside...stuck
on the lug stud...
I've had to break these apart to get to the internal nut...hate, hate them...
