Default Wheel bearings and brakes

Hello TM Forum,
I may have found the trailer we are going to buy thanks to a referral from forum member Nance! Thank you kindly,Nance.
Quick questions.
I want to be really sure the bearings and brakes are safe. Since I'm getting the trailer on the weekend in Central Oregon, getting it serviced is not possible.
1) I saw Bill's excellent post on wheel bearings. I can do that service myself, assuming (don't say it... ) a 2003 2720 SD would have the easy Zerk fitting under the dust cap. Would that model year generally have the Zerk fittings?
I can pull the hub and hand pack, but my mechanic skills are rusty.
2) Has anyone posted instructions for checking the brakes? In a past life, I used to work on cars, and pulling a drum to check brakes does not worry me, but I have never checked or tested electric brakes.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Neil
