Never had one fail but have seen others over tighten the axle nuts and it takes out the bearing. Another thing the bearing companies said was not to wash your bearing unless you get it dirty. They had us wrap then in a shop rag after looking to see if they were not worn to keep the blowing sand or dirt off them. Worked for a major truck barn for over 30 years doing it. I'm sure other people have their way of doing it, but just sharing something I had learn years ago that works for me.
