Phil, there are many different combinations of trailers,axles,wheels,and tires that would require different maintenance conciderations. I would do the bearings now, and note the conditions of the bearing, grease and seal. That will provide some insight as to how often you should inspect those components. Doing this will also allow an inspection of the brake shoes, springs, retainers, magnets, and related hardware. Procure the bearing seals before you start the job (they're cheap). Do the maintenance....go down the road.....have fun! I saw a good thread on here about trailer tires recently....read it !
