Taking temp readings on the rim in between the lug nuts, using a IR thermometer from Radio Shack.
Bearings are packed with Mobile 1 synthetic. After packing the bearings I also adjusted the breaks,adjusted until I could not turn wheel then backed off enough wheel would spin 1 rotation. Maybe to tight on the break adjustment?
I will take her out again and stay off the breaks and check temps again. Trailer weighs 10k, have a prodigy using boost setting of 2 with the gain of 10 needs a lot of break to slow her down.
Thanks for all the information, this simple job has turned into a great learning experience.
