Hi

We now have 105,000 miles on the Montana and 215,000 on the TV.

I have not replaced a wheel bearing on the Montana and have never removed them to repack just used the E-Z Lube system. I have removed the outer bearings when I installed new brake shoes.

I do check the temperature of all wheel bearings in the first 20 miles of a trip and then at every stop we make. The day I have a hot hub I will replace the bearings.

I had to replace both front wheel bearings on the TV at 200,000 miles and they are not accessible for service they are replaced as an assembly that includes the wheel hub.
