Nope. I recommend that you service your bearings at least once, if not twice, per year, depending on usage. If you don't go every single weekend plus days, you can probably get away with once in the fall, when you put your rig up for the year. If you're on the go all through the year, like me, I pull them apart, check and repack around the middle of July, also. Just to be safe. When I use the EZ-Lube, it's once every two weeks, and then it's just a little bit. Watch for water coming out with the old grease, and rotate the wheels as you add the new grease. I never use the EZ-Lube to push all new grease through.

Knock on wood, but I haven't had a bearing issue since 1983! That's when I learned that Bearing Buddies aren't! In Marinette, on my way to Lake Nippising. That was an expensive lesson!
