By the appearance of the wheel in the first pic I would certainly replace that bearing. I speak from experiencing a failure after the wheel looked like that for a while. It took out the spindle and required a new axle installed during a trip. Kind of messes with best made plans.


BTW, Kodiak and Dexter both use the same 50mm bearing. The problem with Nev-R-lube bearings is there is no way to inspect them. The wheel shake test is a joke. The bearings and races can be in bad shape and still "feel" ok. These bearings do not give much warning. To inspect properly requires destroying the bearing to do so. I no longer have Nev-R-Lube installed.


Suggest you replace all 4 bearings, sell the rig and tell the new owner they were replaced as a precaution and let the new owner do their own research.
