I was pretty surly all week as I listened to a wheel bearing eat itself in my car. I don't particularly enjoy changing them (the hub needs to be knocked off so the bearing can be pressed out and a new one pressed in), and I knew this one was my fault. I'd changed it a few months ago and didn't have a new axle nut, so I reused the old one with a bit of loctite. Unfortunately I didn't consider that the loctite would lubricate the axle nut, leading to a significantly over torqued axle nut and very over loaded bearing.
This is how I spent the morning:
