Jon, this is called loading the bearings,setting them in tight and then turning off until they spin. THose new trailers did not have the bearings loaded properly and they are now junk, there is no way you should be able to wiggle a wheel on a spindle and get movement, if you do you will take the bearing assembly out in about fifty miles. When I do bearings I put a wad of bearing grease in the palm of my hand and I press the bearing cage over it and over it until I see grease coming out from around the bearings,spin them and do it some more, the grease needs to be in the bearing cage , not inside the hub and this is where a lot of people go wrong. I used to maintain a fleet of work trailers for a friend, 21 of them, some single axle, some double. On schedule the bearings were pulled, washed out and inspected, repacked and reinstalled with new seal and in the four years I did that job we never lost a bearing and those trailers went thousands of miles. You are correct about tightening the bearing and then loosening it off..Loading the bearing, the only way to do it right !
