as far as waiting 7 years before inspecting, I am sorry but thats just plain crazy and inviting trouble

I inspect and repack every fall during the layup process. Its such a simple procedure and can avoid breakdowns on the road, why not do it???

I am with REW on this one. The only time I pull my Bearing Buddies is when I notice having to grease the hub way to often to keep the plunger half way out. If the plunger dosen`t hold pressure I no there is a leak somewhere.
