| Shoukd this be done based on time or miles? I don't put a lot of miles on my trailer, do the bearings still need to be packed annually? |

Location: western PA | If you use synthetic grease, your bearing packing intervals can be extended to several years. If your state has a brake inspection requirement, they have to be pulled annualy . |

Location: Vermont | You should check your bearings when you check your trailer brakes...
If you have Dexter e-z-lube axles... https://www.floeintl.com/assets/pdf/e-z_lube_greasecap.pdf |

Location: Wentzville, MO | I'd recommend inspecting/repacking yearly. Since bearings, races and seals are pretty inexpensive (but the damage caused when they fail is not), I replaced them every two years, whether they needed it or not merely as a precaution. Since I had the hubs pulled anyway, and the grease seal is usually damaged when it's removed, it just made sense to me to replace everything while I had it apart.
For those unfamiliar with the process, using this link will take you to a video showing how it's done.
