Years ago, 80-81 I think, my dad had a 4 x 8 trailer with a single axle and tiny tires. Well on a trip home from Minong WI, one wheel seized. It welded the inner bearing to the spindle. Needless to say it took hours to hacksaw it off to get new bearings installed, on the side of the interstate too. That is something that sticks with you so one of the things I makes sure of is that the bearings are not only greased, but properly greased, too much is just as bad as too little when there are also brakes involved, so keep that in mind too.
