"Even with the never lube hubs, I still have the RV trailer's bearings re-packed every two years."
How do you have sealed cartridge bearings re-packed?
I am one of the ones that never use the "E Z Lube" zerk fitting. It's just too easy to lube the brake shoes with them.
It took two hours, I’ll check them and repack before our return trip in Nov/Dec.

The "never lube" bearings are a sealed cartridge bearing that is pressed into the brake drum. I gets replaced but not re packed. The EZ lube bearings have a grease fitting at the end of the spindle and in theory the bearings can be re packed with it.
