I also got another spare hub with packed bearings installed. I can't imagine a business that specializes in trailer bearings installing them where the nut would loosen. This same thing happened shortly after I bought the boat, same drivers side wheel. Nothing was hot, just the outer bearing torn apart and the hub coming off of the spindle. I have no idea who had installed the bearings that time.
