What are you using to seat your bearings?
Have you changed the seal and its still leaking?
If yes, is this the same side you burnt a wheel off of? And what exactly do you mean by burnt a wheel off? Now that I think about it, in my mind I imagine a roasted and toasted spindle. I imagine the tire flying off and the the spindle going to poo as it rubs pavement with trailer weight on it.
Like what was said I also tighten the nut to get a good seat then back it off a hair. I was always taught that you want just a tiny bit of play in the wheel.
The grease gets past that nut because it is spinning very fast as you drive down the road.
