Dial gauge is the preffered method. For starters is the heat being generated by the brake system or the tight bearings? The descriptions on how to use the dial gauge method are in the archives. You might try to loosen the retainers a quarter turn and see if there is any improvement temporarily.
If they are the source of the bumps you feel they must be way too tight or something is wrong. I would not drive on them.
