How often do you guys pull / inspect / repack your wheel bearings? Do they go bad often? Only had my Rhino since NOV and don't have many miles on it yet but like to stay on top of things as good as I can. Thanks for your time guys.

whenever I have my wheels off the ground for whatever reason I check for play in them. If there is any play its time for new bearings. I haven't changed mine yet but probably should jack it up just to check.

I am more than experienced in crapping out wheel bearings. Neuromax is spot on, check for play, and rotation for squeaking, in the wheels. You should be ok, for now. The bearings can be repacked, some say you cant because they are sealed. But I have re-packed many that were sealed. Just like all parts it depends on your riding style and what you ride in. They can be under packed and over packed. Everything I have read says they should be packed about 1/3 of total bearing surface. I replaced mine, all around, at about 1500 miles and they were severely abused. This set has 1800 miles and are in decent shape. I can attribute that to re-packing.
