Repacking wheel bearings

We have about 6500 miles on our 2010 3150RL, and I'm wondering what would be a wise time to have the wheel bearing repacked. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on what a safe mileage would be to address the repacking of the wheel bearings.

Thank you.

We have our bearings manually repacked every other year- We are fulltimers who spend summers near our families and winters in the south- Estimated mileage is 10k between services- Fram had a motto back in the old days- "Pay me now (a little) or pay me later ( a bunch)- It was true then as now- JMHO- Don

Had ours repacked at 12000 km (7200 miles) as I noticed some oil stain coming out of two of the hubs. The service mgr. said the bearings were all good but the grease was real soupy and breaking down. He said the Dexter manual says to repack every 12000 km. I don't use a grease gun on them as i don't want to blow the seals. Prevention is a lot cheaper than repair! I would say you are close to having them done!
