Here is an example of what your bearing will look like if you don't check it annually. The Jackshaft is usually fine but the driveshaft bearing gets moisture in it starts to rust and dry out. Takes me 15 minutes to remove the seal, clean out with WD-40 and repack with fresh grease. See my thread with pics on doing both...

Agreed! This was another buddy's Nytro that was never inspected with only 2900 miles on it! He was afraid to pull the seal to inspect.
