How often to repack wheel bearings on TT
How often do you all repack the wheel bearings on your TT's. Should it be done every year or a specified mileage/usage. Thanks for your advice!

Repack min. annually at which time it's good to inspect the bearings closely as well. Bearing quality isn't as good as it could be or ought to be and they can't be trusted.
We've got the EZ-lube axles but I'm still not sure if they are all that great and won't use them. There's pros and cons and some that love them and some that don't. *Maybe* if you are doing a lot of miles but there is the risk of blowing a seal and contaminating the brakes that would worry me. Dexter says to remove the EZ-lube hubs to inspect the bearings every 12 months or 12K miles.

I replaced the stock Dexter bearings with NSK bearings and seals and used Amsoil synthetic grease hand packed and do not plan on redoing them for a few years.
