Hi Folks,

I am getting ready to take my coach off of jackstands but have been checking a few things first. Latest issue is...

With the rear wheels off the ground, I grabbed the rear right wheel and rocked it. There is a tiny amount of slop so I'm wondering about bearings:

Is there a protocol to detect which bearing or race is worn or just replace everything ?
There seems to be a void between the inside and outside bearings - should that be partly filled with grease ?
I saw the issue with certain grease seals from several years ago having dimensional issues - is there anything else to watch out for?

Thanks,
Jim
