I repack every 10 years or 100,000 miles even though the grease still looks like new. No this isn't a joke. Friends who use this grease smirk at the idea of periodic repacking. One 3 axle 5 ton carrier trailer was repacked in 1974. Three surge brake jobs and "Pete" laughs at the idea of repacking the bearings "why should I?" The trailer has been towed 100,000+ miles.
Good question.
