How often do you grease your trailer?

My PUP has a Dexter Axle with the EZ Lube (TM) system for greasing the hubs / bearings.  The manuel says 12K miles or once a year.  How often do folks normally do this on your own trailer?  

Thanks,

Once a year.

Remember, with the EZ Lube yo don't just pump in more grease, you do actually have to take them apart and repack.  The EZ Lube just makes it easy to "add" grease.

I remove and repack my bearings every spring.

More importantly, I lubricate the pulleys and cables of my list system with silicone spray every spring, too. It's not vey hard to do. It takes about 30 minutes to get everything covered and it cranks up super easy. It also keeps rust from forming and your lift system will last forever.

We also have the ez lube, but still remove replace and repack yearly.
