TRAILER MAINTENANCE - WHEEL BEARINGS

Whether you change your own bearings or have it done, you should be able to do it should you need to. This is especially true if you travel a lot with your boat. Getting the parts sometimes could be a problem. Make up a bearing kit for at least one wheel (both is better) to take with you on the road.
Here is a great link that describes how to change out your bearings

When traveling, always pull over and check your bearings for heat after you've gone a few miles down the road. If one side is consistently in the sun while traveling, that side may feel slightly warm.
