Exactly! Install and tighten the castle nut (tight) to seat the bearings, rotate, back off, tighten again, then back off 1/4 max to allow the wheel to turn. right? I hope to have everything back in working order this weekend.

Glad TonyB brought up the over lube issue with bearing buddies. All but one of the trailers I have put them on did not have brakes so it wasnt an issue but the one tt had brakes so I had to be carefull.
