bearings?

[cpoynter84]

I just replaced all the bearing on my tandom axle trailer and there is one wheel that has play in it. Any ideas

Retorque the nut. If that doesnt fix it then take it apart, there is something wrong.

Either not tight enough or something is not seated correctly.
My 2 cents.

Was it done by you......if so you should know how tight it should have been. Check it again is the only sure way to know whats going on.

Pull it apart and Get R Dun.......................

There must be clearance in the bearing so you should feel a very slight amount of play when you wiggle the tire. The wheel should also spin easy. If it doesn't they back off the nut. Too tight will cause more heat and earlier failure of the bearing.
