just curious. why would you want to remove them to pack your bearings?
isn't that the purpose of having them on?
Most boat/trailer mfr's recommend you re-pack your trailer bearings at least every three to five years, regardless of Bearing Buddy application.
Some folks re-pack every single year, overkill in my opinion.
Ongoing pumping of grease into BB's is a common problem for blowing out rear seals in trailer hubs...too much grease with nowhere to go!
When you blow out the rear seals, water intrusion and bearing failure is likely.
Re-packing every few years allows you to clean the bearings of old grease, re-pack with new grease, and inspect bearing and race condition (pitting, rust, grooves, etc), thus allowing preventative maintenance BEFORE you're left stranded on the side of the road.
