Greasing wheel bearings every 1,000 miles is way too often. The grease isn't going anywhere so it doesn't need to be replaced. If the bearing cavity is full and the bearings full of grease you should be good for a long time.
Bingo. That is like saying every 1000 miles I put a qt of oil in the engine. Unless you have a PROBLEM, there is no need to pump grease into the bearings. Remember, over filling will usually cause the grease(excess) to flow inside to the brake area, not just show outside where you can see it. Doug
