Yes, you will get dirty and possibly greasy, but you will have the satisfaction knowing you have high quality bearings greased properly, and installed correctly, and also know that the brakes are ready for another season of travel. You won't be worrying if the underpaid kid in the shop actually packed the bearings with the correct grease and reinstalled everything and adjusted the bearings correctly. The ability to do this kind of maintenance is a gift, either taught by Dad or some other relative, or learned in school or a shop setting, and is a whole lot cheaper than having it done by some shop, and a lot of the time, much quicker too.

Being retired means I can work on it at my schedule too! I can take 5 days to work on it if I choose. Or 7. Or 10!
The trick is not to procrastinate and wait until 2 days before I need the trailer ready for a trip.
