When I found out the shop that did the bearings, I was doubtful that they were installed dry, or incorrectly. I would not blame the shop. He wouldn't let it happen twice on the same vehicle within a few days of each other. Something else is going on here. And I suspect a material failure, not an installation oversight.
When one of the ORIGINAL bearings failed 70 miles from the shop (after being packed with new grease), all four inners and outers were replaced, and almost certainly done correctly. The owner was thereafter gunshy and was checking their temperature at every stop with nothing to indicate an imminent failure. That's what makes it such a mystery that things were fine for 900 miles, and then not fine.
If Mr. Bounds is going to repair it, he had better have a spindle and the tool(s) to press the old one out. The outer race has welded itself to the spindle.
