After loosing a wheel bearing in my 71 Caddy, in the desert out west, some
40 years ago, I always feel the wheel centers when I stop. Should you find a
Hot one you are going to have a problem soon.

Our day was interrupted by what the English refer to as a 'failure to
proceed' brought on by front wheel bearings with almost no grease
whatsoever. 

After a couple of hours of parking lot troubleshooting the car was towed to
a local garage in a small town. The garage owner was Good People as
evidenced by the two totally trick and immaculate Mk 1 VWs he had (a Golf
Gti and a pickup truck). 

The front bearing had literally liquified and melted to the spindle. After
hours of grinding and pressing and cutting and chiseling, the remnants of
the bearing were out. An hour and a half round trip to get some new bearings
and then reassembly was straightforward. We got to the hotel just in time
for delicious dinner but sadly missed all the day's activities (relaxed
floating down the river in two-man boats and a terrific buffet lunch)

Weather is perfect, life couldn't be better....
