As long as everything looks fine there is no need to. Jack up your trailers so the wheels are off the ground. Make sure the jack is on the frame and not the axle.
Take the wheel and wiggle it back and forth to check how much play there is or spin the wheel to see if it wobbles. If there is any wobbling or wiggling then your axle bearings need to. Lift the trailer up on one side and spin the wheel -if its Loose or wobbles or makes noise - then Replace the bearing -Repeat on other side.

Whenever you install new hubs or new bearings and races into an old hub you should pre-load the bearings. Pre-loading the bearings assures that the races in the hubs are 100 in place against their machined stop points and keeps the hub from wobbling after a few miles. Because this job is so labor intensive I highly recommend replacing the wheel bearings and seals with new parts instead of cleaning and greasing the old bearings.
The grease seal will need to changed anyways and the parts are only about 40. You need 2 sets of BK2-100 bearing kits for a 84 axle. Little House Customs sells them and sometimes you can find them.
A new wheel bearing will provide great protection however even the best trailers on the market will eventually need to have wheel bearings replaced. The wheel bearing of a boat trailer is a vital component under constant load transferring essential energy and being put through rigorous temperatures and conditions. Wheel bearings fail for a few reasons such as excessive load poor maintenance or a failure to replace them.

Replacing wheel bearing on trailer tire Posted by johnnyrocket on 62821 at 831 pm to hawgndodge I bought a cheap kit years ago to pull and put the bearing racers back in. LINK Takes 5 to 10 minutes to pull grease new bearings and put rear seal on to rebuild a hub.
Hold the tire on both sides and twist it back and forth. There should only be a little play. Then spin the wheel and listen to it.
If its making any noise its likely there is damage to the bearings andor races. Lower the trailer until the tire makes contact with the ground then loosen the lug nuts jack the trailer up again and remove the wheel and tire. Any grease on the inside of the wheels.
