The elderly neighbor with the boat trailer next door (almost daily in/out of the water) gets re-packed several times a season because of the water issues. Grease degrades with age as well as with use, so just not having many miles is no excuse to not giving them a quick pack. In fact, I wouldn't recommend going over four years even if it doesn't go anywhere. Some greases contain volatile compounds that evaporate out if not in a sealed container.

You just pop off the plastic thing and stick the grease gun nozzle onto the ball-point pen looking thing and squeeze the grease gun until no more goes in, right? So, would I ever need to open the whole thing up and get the bearings out, or could I just keep adding grease every year?
