When you turn the bearing by hand it should feel nice and smooth no rough spots . there should be no play( loose between the part on the axle and the outside.

It should not make any noise if this is a sealed bearing I think it is without looking. Look at the over all condition any thing that stands out.

This is a learned skill and does take time to learn:jessica:
