Wheel bearings again!

Sorry for the confusion. When the axles were installed, the installer (a trailer shop) indicated he personally hand packed and adjusted the bearings. That is the only way I know they were done correctly. I am not a professional, that is why I hired a professional to do the job. My knowledge was based on the reputation of someone else.

I would still call the guy to pick his brain on what happened.

Basically he did a poor job or there was a hidden defect. All you can do is slap some new bearings on and head down the road. Heat and speed will not hurt properly done bearings.

I swear if you carry an extra set of bearings, seal, washer, nut and pin you will never have another problem ;)
