Great advice, Its a good idea to break down the bearings clean and repack them, add new seals if they need them whenever you buy a trailer of any kind. I recently found bought a used utility trailer got it home and found the bearings almsot dry. I added new seals, new grease and Im good to go and I know they are in good shape.

there are a lot of good tech articles to read and one covers the repacking and adjusting of trailer wheel bearings.
