Here's a good how-to link for getting the pre-load right on trailer wheel bearings:

https://www.championtrailers.com/pre-loading-trailer-wheel-bearings/

I always felt like just a little tight is better than a little loose. Don't want the wheel wobbling.


i ended up grinding down the washer a bit, couldnt find a thinner one at the hardware store, and now i can get the nut lined up without using a wrench, and the tire/hub spins easier,

took it for a test ride yesterday, seems good to go. not hot at all after 20-30 minutes highway driving..
