Should the rear wheel bearings on a 2003 Accord be cleaned and re-greased
every so often?

That depends. How many kids does your mechanic have in college?

No. Sealed for life. These are not like the old tapered roller bearings you
may be used to.

The rear bearings tend to have far longer lives than the front ones. This
is because they are largely shielded from road splash.

Wow! Jim Beam! I love your bourbon. It has a mellowing effect on most
people.

Hi Say What?

Actually I've been doing all of the maintenance and almost all of the
repairs on my cars these last 2 score and 4. The sum total of my paid
repairs are two rebuilt automatic transmissions, a trip to the dealer for an
intermittent sensor problem, which they failed to fix, and the time in 66
when I screwed up my first fuel pump replacement, resulting in a bent push
rod.
