I pack 'em full of grease and forget 'em. They growl when they want attention. I've seen fewer old age bearing failures than failures caused by 'fixing' them when they ain't broke.

Okay...I'll modify that. For a non-sealed bearing that has been in situ ungreased for years, I'd consider cleaning and regreasing. But this is just not something I do every 2-3 years like some folks. And....never had much trouble. Had more trouble with sealed bearings.

Same with CV joints. Pack 'em FULL. When the boot tears, replace the entire axle.
