If you did your wheel bearings as you wrote it, you've skipped a step and got them too tight. After you tighten to 20 lb-ft (which is just to seat the bearings and races, you then back off until loose, then tighten to 4 lb-feet, then back off to the first cotter.

If you did as you said and just backed off one cotter from 20 lb-feet, you'll ruin the bearings very quickly.
