Well Jim there is no doubt you installed the cotter pin in my book, because if you hadn't there would have been no...."clicking off mile after mile without problem on my way home with the boat and trailer behind me"

I tow 1000 plus miles a year with my boat and a fifth wheel trailer, not at the same time. I bought a point and shoot thermometer from Harbor Freight and take the temp of hubs whenever I stop. It is quick and gives me piece of mind. Big variations in temp would be a warning.

I forgot to say I also carry a new hub with bearings and seals pre greased just in case things go south. It is insurance you hope you never use.

I stop on the side of the road & fix it real quick (usually 30 minutes or less) and then back on the road to the fishing grounds... After changing two or three you get good at it. My trailers are usually good to go but the ones I pick up buying and selling usually are crap and in bad shape so I have had to do it a few times.
