TOY: Hot wheel bearings/hub

["Pat Fogle" <pfogle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just replaced and repacked my wheel bearings last weekend.  When you touch
the hub after driving several miles (3+), one side is noticeably hotter than
they other.  Neither is too hot to touch, but one is definitely hotter.  Is
this a sign of a problem?  Might the hot side be preloaded too tight?

Oops - yeah...

I meant: "...it wouldn't hurt..."

That'll teach me to proof read!

I'm just clarifying, but you meant it would <not> hurt to re-check the
pre-load, right Mike?
