My take: every one says to repack the bearings by hand but, I have had two trailers (each one seven years), with the easy lube bearings.
I did it once a year using a grease gun. I would jack the wheel and as I was pumping the grease, I would turn the wheel. Once I saw the old grease coming out, and saw the new stuff right behind it I would stop.
I never had a problem and put thousands of miles on both trailers.
On the second one, I had them repacked by a shop in it's sixth year, and the mechanic said that the bearings were in good shape.
