I always set those rear bearings with some pre-load. I just went and clamped my torque wrench in a vise to see approx. how much I would set them by feel. It seems like a torque of 15-20 ftlbs is about it. After assembly I crank them down to say 25-30 and spin them a couple turns to set the bearings. Then back off loose again turn the hub a bit to free the bearings from their tapers. Then snug it down to the 15-20 give the hub a spin to double check all is well.

Some guy put a tablespoon or so of gear oil in the hub between the bearings but I never did. Just didn't like the chance of it getting in the brakes during assembly.
