As often as they wear out!
When bearings on your trailer seize, it can lead to increased friction, causing the wheel to stop rotating properly. This may result in overheating, potential damage to the axle, and even complete wheel failure. If not addressed promptly, it can compromise the safety and stability of the trailer, making it difficult to tow. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent bearing seizure.
It's time to repack your trailer wheel bearings if you notice signs of excessive heat, such as smoke or a burning smell, or if there are visible leaks of grease. Additionally, if you hear grinding or rumbling noises while towing, or if the wheels feel unusually hot to the touch after a trip, it's a good indication that the bearings may need maintenance. Regularly checking the bearings every 12 months or after long trips is also a good practice.

Reassemble the hub, tightening it according to the manufacturer's specifications, and ensure the seals are properly seated to prevent water intrusion.
