I learned my lesson 35 years ago and bought "bearing buddies". I have never opened or burned another bearing since. Just add fresh grease every time you launch. I used to only trailer, when I was younger. Yes it pushes out the back after a while and gets grease on the fender and maybe a bit on the boat, so what, just wash it off, its worth it. They also sell a rubber seal (bearing buddy bra) for the front of the buddy that helps keep splatter to a minimum.
