1954A,

Even the smallest of tapered roller bearings must be loaded and should be torqued to a minimum of 12 ft-lbs. They are designed this way.

The proceedure of pulling them to "snug" and then backing off to the "first available slot" is just plain the wrong way to do it and is an old habit which has been carried over from the old-fashioned 'ball bearing' type wheel bearing days.

And, I am certainly not trying to start a range war either,
