I've got a 2013 EZ Loader Skeeter trailer with a 2013 ZX200 sitting on it and I noticed recently I had weird wear pattern on my right rear tire (tandem). The rest of the tires are wearing perfectly normal and this one is wore nearly out and has a pattern like it is scrubbing at an angle. Upon further investigating it a appears that I have slack in the bearings, the other three are fine. It has had a slight grease leak too, showing up on the wheels. Rotating it there is no noise and it is full of grease. I've tried tightening the adjustment but the nut has way to much pressure on the bearings by the time I get to the next notch in the nut. I looked at buying the kit to rebuild it and it looks like for just a little bit more I can buy the whole assembly and just change it out from the torque tube out. What is your experience with this?

Leaks don't ever get better. Replace hub or rebuild it.

Replaced the whole assembly on mine. Takes literally less than 10 minutes.
