Wheel Bearings Packed? Yearly Maintenance
How often do you have the wheel bearings packed on your trailer? And do you take it in for a yearly maintenance inspection?

I have my bearings and brakes checked and maintained every winter when I take my trailer in for the VA State inspection.

We have the same nonsense in PA. When I get it home from "inspection" I need to correct all the damage. I've had lugs stripped, lugs too loose, bearing adjustment way off, contaminated grease put in, grease seals damaged and wheels marked up. If you never check their work, you won't know till it is too late.
I have to shake my head at things like this. What business do they have doing these kinds of inspections? I might could see them jacking up the trailer, spinning the wheels and twisting on the wheels checking for wheel bearing nut adjustment, brakes too tight or loose, etc., but removing your wheels and messing with the bearings? That's way over the top. Fortunately here in NC, they don't inspect trailers, yet.
