Thanks for this video. I was wondering about this just the other day when I replaced the hubs/bearings on an old trailer we have.

Yeah I could see the slop and hear it too, also the rim looks as if grease had flew out of the hub and left splatter lines on it which I have never seen on a hub that has a grease buddy or a cap so I’m thinking at one point it came off and was replaced before you bought it?? Nicely done by the way 👍😎👍

Thanks for that informative video, I watched the dial one that you told us to look. I have a question for my rv trailer, i changed my bearings, races, drums, so everything is new. I took a dial indicator meeter for the first time to look the play I have. Tell me if the way I did it is ok. Well the meter was magnet to my frame and the pin of the gauge was right on the top side of my drum, right to the edge of the drum, at 10'' to 12'' circle. I push my drum side to side and I got 0.002 and sometime 0.003. I know I'm in the range that it suppose to be but I want to make sure I put the dial indicator the right way. An other question tell me if I'm right, let say I have 0.002 or 0.003 from the 12'' drum do you thing if we were able to measure the play right between the bearing we could find around 0.001? And let say if I was gona be able to put the dial meter right againt the metal wheel or the tire we could expect to have like 0.005 or maybee a little bit more cause the wheel is bigger size than the drum and the bearing itself ? I'm trying to make myself a template or kind of a model for next services, if this is right the way I did it, I will keep in mind 0.002 to 0.003 from the drum is a good play for bearings, so not to loose or not too tight. I really like your channel very informative and you explain very well. Thanks.

Why do you have bearing buddies on a utility trailer? They are for boats that are in the water on a regular bases. Bearing buddies don't lube the bearings. They only put a 3 psi pressure in the hub to keep out water.

I heard it and saw it when you wiggled it.

So you are supposed to torque yo 60 lbs back out and hand tight if you just tighten this like this you did nothing to squeeze the greese from the bearing seats and just waisted your time.

[@How2Wrench]

We will try to answer this a bit more friendly. Your incorrect on the 60 lbs and that number is specific to an axle size (bearing actually) . What we showed comes direct from Timken bearing training. Please anyone reading this including (respectfully) must take into account t using specs for torque from the trailer manufacturer is always the best choice.
