Front wheel heat

Having just fitted sealed front wheel bearings which seem to be firmer than the original unsealed type my front wheels are getting quite hot after a 45 minute drive in traffic including a fair bit of braking. How hot is normal? I fear the bearings are overheating

Not too hot to touch the hub cap.
Have you tried my earlier test?

Not as yet Mike was waiting to see how things went after a bit of use. Well the hubcaps were hot, not too hot to touch but certainly pretty warm.

Will depend entirely on the amount of braking - so we can't possibly judge it!
