I realize that the heat generated will depend on the weight being towed, terrain and distance being towed, but is there any type of chart that tells me what might be normal?
Thanks as always for any input

I look for one being abnormally hot. All the bearings won't go bad at the same time, so look for one or two to be abnormally different!
