Question When to replace wheel bearings.

After looking at this post http://trailmanorowners.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=19329 I thought I would post something about the conversation I had with a CW repair shop.

I have been considering having my wheel bearings changed. I have been using the easy lube regularly but have wondered if I shouldn’t just have them replaced as they are rather old. I talked to someone at CW and they told me that that isn’t really necessary. They recommended repacking them and replace if needed after inspection. They told me that they recommended this every other year. When I told them about the easy lube system he told me he had been in the business for 10 years and never heard of such a thing on RV’s; that that was something only used only on boat trailers.

The part about only replacing bearing when needed rang true. I was only applying an ounce of prevention better than a pound of cure when considering replacing them. The part about easy lube totally baffled me. I am interested in what members might think about how often to replace or check bearing and CW comments about easy lube.
