Default Check your trailer wheel bearings!

Some trailers with disc brakes require you to pull the calipers off to remove the inner bearings.
Last Tuesday while up at my neighbors camp I started to install the new tires his Dad had bought for their aluminum boat. I took the hub and spun it and one was grinding loud and when I pulled the hub the roller bearings fell apart. It had been bad for some time with gritty grease/water mix. The boat ramp is 3 blocks away from the camp.
