This question of packing the bearings has come up before. I for one pack the bearing once a year when I go to Florida at Campers World in Orlando. I do pump grease into the bearings once or twice slowly during the year. One time I pumped g=rease in the bearings and put too much and blew a seal. That put grease onto the brake drums and cost extra to clean them up. I do not trust the ez bearings. Those holes can get plugged and no grease goes to the inter bearings. Whenever we stop, I check the temp of the tires. Thats one way to check if the bearings are getting to hot because of lack of grease. Better to be safe than sorry .

I have 2 questions for those of you who do not have the EZ grease
option.
1.Are you having the bearings repacked at about 6,000 miles or are you doing them less frequently? If less, how often?
2. Are you aware of any bearings that are available to replace the OEM bearings, that would never need repacking, like we all have on our trucks?
I'd appreciate your input. Thanks
