I am a retired FAA Certified Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic with Certified Inspection Authorization and I can't imagine a Certified Master Technician asking this question. You cannot inspect the bearings without removing them and you know the importance of that inspection.

Please, everyone, don't neglect your bearings. I have seen wheels destroyed, aircraft wrecked and people killed by improper bearing maintenance!!

Very good point, esp with the made in China bearings.

Also the seals wear out, the brakes need to be checked. Good luck pumping the grease if you have a bad seal.

I found this once and this was not from lack of grease or lack of proper adjustment... starting to pit...
