Advised not to repack bearings???
Two years ago, and with our previous trailer, we had a miserable and expensive bearing failure while 4k miles from home. At the time, we had buddy bearings and were under the impression that they did...

Ha Ha, Spend the money on Dexter axles and NOT use the Easy Lube you bought!! Ok,, I bought a four year old trailer, Couldn't get a straight answer if the previous owner repacked them.
So, I pulled all four and re sealed and repacked,,a dirty smelly back hurting job!!
It has Dexter easy Lube,, I have purchased good wheel bearing grease and use the axles as they were intended,, Works good been six years and all four wheels rotate as they should,, I often check wheel and hub temp on long trips,, Nothing wrong yet!! Also,, to not "Over Pack" I run my pinkie finger in there and remove grease back to the packing washer.. Thus giving expansion room,, Or as I call it,,Slinging room!! Also!!! Replace those rubber caps after a few years,, they leak!!
