[A/S] Re: Wheel bearings

Trap, It's not that you replace them because they are leaking, 
although that's one good reason, it's that to properly pack and 
inspect them for wear you need to remove the seal. That renders the 
seal useless. (unless you follow the steps laid out by Charlie Burke 
in an earlier post) I personally have never done it that way but next 
time I going to give it a whirl. The farm trailers I used (mostly 
straw and hay) never reached or sustained the speeds to heat up and 
seize the bearings. Come to think of it unless the wheel fell off I 
doubt anyone ever paid much attention to the wheel. Tobacco huh, What 
part of the country is that? Lancaster PA? AL
