Do you check your car/truck wheel bearings every year or 12,000 miles? I sure don't and honestly see no sense in doing it on my trailer. IMO every few years when I check the brakes works fine. Eight years, 20,000 miles and still going strong. I've read several accounts on this forum about problems that ensued after wheel bearing "maintenance". Sometimes you're better off leaving well enough alone.
I'm more on this side of the fence about leaving them alone. And I've never checked my vehicle bearings - on any vehicle.
I have tpms which report heat, I check my hubs often, and everything seems fine after 6 years with no bearing service.
