Brake job?? You mean brake adjustment? If you are actually doing a brake job, with hub disassembled, then I'd hand pack at this time, and not add grease for several years.
Otherwise, your plan should work to do a complete check every 5 yrs, depending on miles/use. The obvious though, a brake problem, a hot hub after towing, needs to be checked out.
I have used the EZ lube on 3 different trailers. I did find one seal that was leaking, causing some contamination, while doing a complete inspection. So yes, it happens, but I am not afraid to use the system as designed.

Ues break job, no need to repact anything as the hubs come with pre greased bearings. Unfortunately they dont make my size brakes anymore and i need to change out all the assemblys. So, new hub , pre greased , new races, bearings, and backer plate with pads magnets allready assembled.
