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. Now if this has the nylon lock type nuts you'll have to add to that torque for the ny-loc drag. I always did it by feel no torque wrench. Some grease on the bearings packed between 3-4 rollers 3-4 spots around need some lube on them until the rear gear oil makes its way out there. 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.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
