Hey Baja...glad it is all working out for you!
You should get lots of miles/use out of the OEM bearings/races, and brake components. Using good grease, doing a quality pack, you should be good for 3-5 years, without further service.
If the brakes are all kept properly adjusted, so they work together, they will go a long time too, as you noted, not even close to worn out. Your picture of the magnets showed lots of service left there too.
Good that Trailer Aid worked out for you! It is a comfort knowing that you can quickly, and safely, change a flat, when needed!
Happy travels to you,

Thanks Jerry! Yes, the TAP is great! Perfect for changing tires, wheel bearing and brake service, etc. When only one wheel at a time needs to be worked on, it is the easiest and safest solution IMO.
Yes, brakes should be OK for several years.
