The Nev-R-Lube style bearings aren't designed to ever need maintenance. They have a 100,000 mile warranty and if they ever failed it would be just a matter of replacing them. LIke with the # 31-71-3 for if you have a 8,000 lb axle.

Checking the brakes is just a matter of removing the spindle nut and sliding the hub/drum off so that you can inspect the drum and the brake assemblies.
