Steve,
I believe that in '11, DRV was still installing the NevRLube bearings on the 8k axles. If so, these bearing are non-serviceable---they are a unit and sealed. Replacement only, available from Dexter or eTrailer.com---the 50mm larger units. And you CANNOT just replace the NevRLube with a standard bearing, the spindle is different for them.
The 'play' you noticed is the only way to check for wear on these bearings--suggest that you go to Dexter website and look for the NevRLube section for their recommendations.
