Trailer wheel bearing help

If the bearings fall appart when pulled (i.e. taper roller or annular
contact bearings), do the nut up fairly tightly whilst spinning the
wheel/hub. Slacken, and retighten by fingures only, so there is the
hint of rimrock, and repin.

A word of caution.
The bearings on our boat trailer are sealed, double row, back-to-back,
angular contact bearings. These can fall apart when pulling the hub
off the stub shaft.
The nut holding these bearings on is a one-shot nut (manufacturers
insist it is to be replaced every time the hub is removed), and must
be torqued up to a specified (and quite high) torue to ensure the
correct clearance in the bearings is obtained.
