On a TAB 320, how many miles before wheel bearing repacking?

    One year or 12,000 miles.

    And as long as it is whichever comes last, I'm probably right on schedule!  ;-)

    So if I average 4,000 miles per year; every 3 years?

    @Lauinger - so less than 12,000 miles you do it annually.  If someone travels a lot and hits 12,000 Miles after 4 months - do it then.

    @Lauinger, Sharon is correct about the recommended service interval. I was being sarcastic because--as discussed in another current thread thread--I have a T@B that is loooong overdue for bearing maintenance. Standards such as "one year or 12,000 miles" almost always mean whichever comes first.

    Sorry for any confusion!

    Just curious what most people do in terms of repacking bearings. I’ve got about 3500 miles on our 400 and instead of repacking them at the beginning of the season I’m thinking of doing it based on mileage.  Any up or downsides to either method?

    @manyman297 ; I follow Dexter recommendation.
    +++  Every year or 12,000 miles which ever comes first

    I'm also in the "use the E-Z Lube" fitting/design for completing the grease replacement.
    As that is what Dexter designed them for . . .

    We do also, bearings and brake check/adjustment is an annual event around here.
