VW recommended regreasing those bearings every 30,000 miles, but 
that's such a big job that I stopped doing it in the mid-70s. I 
figured if a bearing failed I would do it then and just replace the 
bearing, even though those bearings, especially the roller bearing, 
are expensive.

In 40 years, I've never had to do any maintanence of any kind on one 
of those bearings. I'm sure it happens, but it must be extremely 
rare.
