"I was heading to fishing tournament and noticed one of the wheels starting to shimmy on the trailer, I stopped to check it and the hub was warm, too warm, and the wheel was wobbling. Bad bearings .
It was 4 am and desperate to get to the TX on time, and I still had 70 miles to go to the launch site. Then I remembered I had bought a spare set of bearings at northern and tossed them into the storage box in the boat.
After 10 mins of digging, I found them jacked up the trailer pulled the wheel and hub, swapped out bearings, by flashlight on the side of the road. made it to the tx on time. When I returned home, I swapped out the other side with so called name brand bearings ... they failed within 500 miles, replaced them with the northern tools brand and still going with out failure.
That was a year ago .. have traveled couple thousand miles on those bearings since then, never a problem, just a shot of grease and back on the road."
