I like to do my own maintenance and I am an industrial mechanic so bearing maintenance is part of my trade. I have always done them every second year for every trailer I have owned and they always looked like they could have gone for another couple of seasons but I wanted to check the brakes. Always replace the seals when you repack the bearings. The original seals on my last two trailers were very poor quality and did not even have the little spring around the rubber lip. The Dexter axle book and website has very good instructions on how to clean and repack your own wheel bearings and if you are handy it is a pretty simple task.
