I took off my wheel bearings when I bought my boat, and repacked them. They
probably have 150 miles on them since that.

IF I JACK UP MY TRAILER AND JUST SPIN THE WHEEL, what should I feel? Should
there be ANY movement where you can take the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and
wiggle back and forth?

When I take the cap, key, and nut off, and put it back on, just how tight do
I put the nut? Should I tighten it at all with a large ChannelLock, or just
to where I can get the key in the next groove in the nut?

I'm going to take them off and have a look see, and just was wondering how
to correctly put them back on.

Here's how Dexter recommends the bearings on my 5th wheel be adjusted.
