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?

For all my trailers (re: Boat, Utility and RVs), each spring I manually remove each hub, grease their bearings and while brake hubs are off, inspect their inner brake parts as well. If brake parts needs replacing, I replace them. I also replace their seals every other year as well. Can do each hub under 20 minutes. Under 20 minutes per hub to ensure trailer has brakes and bearings properly grease are worth it to me. Very easy DIY task.
BTW: If one doesn't remove their hubs to inspect their inner brake drums / brake parts, how do you know condition of its brakes? I never trust others in this life saving area. Especially when it involves trailer brakes (that saves lives).
