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!

I like the Dexter easylube system, it allows a grease change to be done once a year like in our case, with no tools.
Yep, the days of hand packing aren't needed with this setup.
Until you accidently pump too much grease in and it seeps out the seal and lands on your brake drum.
Not possible. The Easy lube system is NOT a bearing buddy. You can pump the grease gun 100 times and it will not affect the seal in any way. There is no pressure. All the grease oozes out right in front of you. There is only the rubber cap that holds the grease in. I used to give a couple shots of grease before every long trip and once a year I would jack up the wheel so I could spin it to check for noise and then check for end play. About every 3 years I would pull the wheels and check the brakes. Applying grease with a grease gun forces grease thru both bearings. I would slowly spin the wheel and apply grease until it came out clean. Worthy note....I used to only put about 5000 miles per year on the TT.
