My dealer told us with the EZ axles put one squirt of grease per year and you should be good enough. Well, I will be doing them by hand this year anyway.

Doing one squirt per year, in about 20 to 30 years you will have greased the front bearing.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. It takes nearly 1/2 tube of grease before you pump the old grease out and the new grease in. We bought our trailer new in 2008 and I have never repacked the bearings. I use good quality synthetic grease (Amsoil) and thoroughly pump in new grease once very 3 years. You will visually be able to see the old discolored grease come out. Once you see the fresh grease come out, then you know that you have thoroughly greased the bearings. You will need to spin the tire/wheel as you are pumping it. I also have a thermal gun and take temperature readings to ensure that the hubs are running cool. There is nothing wrong with repacking the bearings annually. In my opinion, that is overkill for 90% of RV owners. The EZ lube works well. I might repack with new bearings once my unit is 10 years old, otherwise, I do not see the need. If I see the temperatures rise on the hubs, then I will repack and replace the bearings.
