Torquing hub/bearing assembly

Replaced all 4 hub/bearing assemblies today. Holy smokes the torque required is insane (85Nm +120 degrees). Be prepared if you do this project!

Are these replaced on hours or miles?
What is the specified interval?

Personally I replace them when I detect play that is bearing related. Depending on where you operate the car, one side gets more loading etc. than the other. If I was doing endurance racing I would reach up to folks who know. If not once a year, every other year for sure. These assemblies are very robust compared to say a 987.2 that I raced, but even those we replaced as needed. I bought 4 so I can do them as needed.
