Most auto mechanics (including myself) overtighten and spin the hub to seat the bearing a couple of times, then back it off til there's no tension then bring it back up gently until it doesn't tighten without pushing it. Done it thousands of times, never had a wheel come off. Of course, I always made sure the bearings and races were in good shape if not new, and the bearings properly grease packed. Don't forget new seals! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
