I got a call from my sister first thing this morning
"I think I blew a wheel bearing"
She was towing the boat about 7 or 800km and I am about half way
She said she could hear a "squeeking noise"
The only thing keeping the wheel from falling off was the axle nut
All the roller bearing where gone![009.gif](https://katriders.com/core/images/smilies/009.gif)
I had to track down a new hub because the outer race had been spun so much it was falling out![005.gif](https://katriders.com/core/images/smilies/005.gif)
the inner race of the outer bearing was welded in place ,I had to cut it with a grinder to get it off the spindle
It is a Long weekend so most trailer places are closed but For less than $100 I got a new hub ,new bearings both sides (IMHO I dont think the other side was going to make the rest of the trip ),new seals and new dust caps
when I pulled the other hub the grease felt like it had shards of glass in it
