I'm chiming in here as an update to the reliability of these NeverLube wheel bearings.
This past week I decided to remove & replace my nearly 12 year old wheel bearings.
All 4 of my bearings showed no signs of wear using the "wheel wiggle" test, nor did they even seep any grease.
I removed all 4 to find they were in perfect condition.
I have about 60,000 miles on these bearings.

So it is possible for these NeverLube type bearings to run well, for a very long time.

I have 3 "used bearings" now that would make a good spare bearing for someone who would like to carry with them in case they do have a bearing failure on the road.
I have heard stories of these bearings being hard to get at certain times, they wind up as back-ordered regularly.
So carrying a perfectly good spare might not be a bad idea.
The reason I have 3 to offer-up is because I will keep one as a spare my-self.
