I see comments being made both for preload, as well as running the bearings a bit slack. To all of that I'll say this. Between Dad and I, we've got close to 90 years of experience dealing with tapered bearings in everything from wheels to transmissions, to the BIG stuff on shafts in cranes and other equipment.
In all of those years I've seen many people run bearings loose, and guess what happened, they had failures one after another. In fact I recently tightened the wheel bearings on nearly 2o trailers that were losing wheel bearings left and right. Since I tightened them they haven't lost one yet. I've had the same experience repairing trailers for friends who did their own, only to have them fail. I haven't seen one fail again, yet.
When I do one for myself, whether it's been on my trailer, or my service truck, I always put in just a little preload. As I said before, I have never had one fail.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
