[Shop-talk] trailer advice needed

Nope, but I could see the marks on the bearing races the last time I repacked 
my bearings.  With my el-cheapo utility trailer, there isn't a fine-enough 
adjustment between bearing too tight, and bearing too loose; I've been running 
them on the loose side figuring it was safer than too tight and overheating.
Any thoughts on how to take up the slack without machining custom spacers?
