    I don't see how you check fluid on these with solid cover on the hub? How go you check fluid level?

    It's grease, or a semi fluid synthetic grease, not oil.

    It does not need to be regulary inspected. Check for leaking wheel seals , and run.

    If you don't have a wheel seal or hub cap leaking, you're GTG.

    I jack mine up every 3-4 months and check bearing play. The older my trailer gets, I'll do that more frequently
