Default Re: Bearing Question

Hello again,

I just finished repacking the wheel bearings and gave her a test drive...( i also fixed the brakes so they work!) what temp should the hubs be at, I've never had trailer brakes so I'm not sure if the hubs/drums will be warmer than without the brakes.

I can hold my hand in each hub for a while, my digital thermometer says one side is abouit 99 degrees, the other is nearly 120 degrees after a 15 mile trip with moderate brake use.

Any ideas?? thanks
