If this was a new rig, have the bearings repacked by removing the hubs and packing the individual bearings, and install new seals. The brakes should be checked also to make sure they are good so you have no surprises that there was a defect in any of the brakes. Once all that is done, then you can stretch it out to every other or every third year if your distance traveled is minimal. I would not recommend using the zerk fittings to just add grease as many have had issues with brake contamination from grease getting by the seals. The reason for getting the repack done the first time is due to not knowing how well the bearings were packed at the Dexter plant when the axles were assembled. If you can do the work yourself, even better. The EZ Lube system would need the entire hub cavity to be pumped full of grease to the point the grease in the inner bearing was pushed completely past the outer bearing and new grease was circulated in both bearings, all this while slowly turning the wheel while pumping the grease, and no idea if the brakes are good and also no idea if the seals are holding.
