is it ok to put the entire upright including the hub into the sandblaster, will the sand effect the bearing, or is the bearing a sealed unit

In extreame cases wheel will fall off

Jack up one side and rock wheel vertically and then horizontally. Anything more than just a hint of movement and the bearings are loose. Retighten, if still bad they is bu$$ered

Sand will muck the bearings right up

I put new bearings in my hubs regardless, they arent that expensive, and once they are done they should last years.
