Some say repack every 2 years. You agree?

One POSSIBLY good thing is that a typical trailer roller bearing "announces" its pending failure by making a metallic clicking sound. You won't hear it on the road, but is very pronounced when in stop and go traffic or pulling away after refueling.
(Ask me how I know !)
Not always. Just repacked mine. One growled when spinning. Another made no sound but both bearings were spalled. Fourth wheel when I pulled it had a broken bracket that holds the magnet on. Magnet laying in bottom of brake drum. Made no sound when spun by hand. There was wear on the corner of magnet that indicated it had rubbed on something but I never heard a sound when driving.
