Bearings: How hot is too hot?
Amazing how many questions one little weekend trip generates...
We just returned from our first outing with the TM. About a 1.5 hour trip home and temps outside in the mid 90's.
Got the trailer parked at home and about 20 minutes later decided to check the wheel hub temps. Both sides were too hot to hold on to.
Is this too hot?
I had re-greased the bearings this spring, so I'm assuming lubrication isn't the issue.
While I wasn't descending any steep grades, could it be that the heat is just from normal braking? Or maybe I have my Prodigy set to make the trailer work too hard?
Or what the heck else?
Thanks for any help...
