Wheel bearing maintenance interval
I’ve seen posts that say to repack every 12 months or 12,000 miles...since I only tow a little over 1,000 miles per year, do really have repack every 12 months? Does the wheel bearing grease degrade...

The best thing you can do with EZ Lube axles is to remove the zirks and toss them in the woods. Other wise you end up with this because some idiot can't walk by the rig without pumping a tub of grease in every time they walk by.
I bought this rig in January and the brakes pretty much sucked. The pic is what I found when I pulled the drums.
2 of the 4 magnets were hanging by the wires, each drum took a can of brake clean to get the grease off, and as you can see all the brake hardware and linings were covered. This was just the first one, the other 3 were this bad also.
I replaced them with the better self adjusting brakes, checked and repacked the bearings that were good, and replaced one set that showed heat signs.
