With the IR temp gun I try to get as close to as possible to the axle bearing locations. I don't measure the rim or beauty cap but the hub... thru the rim holes. I know that it is a guesstimate. I was looking at big differences from side to side. They were virtually the same temps.
When I say wiggle in the bearing; I mean about a ~1/16 inch of play. Not much but a little. Too loose if I back it off one notch and too tight if you go one more. Rotating the wheel by hand (jacked up) has it spin freely and make a half dozen rotations with a hand spin.
I've done bearings before but not on a larger TT.
