Good post Mr MT.
With that being said, I am gonna keep preloading mine with the 18" metric crescent wrench. :W Why heck ole cooter did this all the time way back when. :S
And to think that some people think that cavity between the bearings came filled with grease. Just think how long some folks run the highways without ever lubing the outer bearing cus they think a little squirt will do both sides.
With all the urban legend associated with RVers, it is no wonder the dealers and shops keep in business.
However i gotta admit, some folks did post good info in this thread.
