Answer to one question, you do 4 ft-lbs by using an inch-pound wrench set to 48 inch-lbs. But really, you'll never see a good mechanic use a torque wrench on wheel bearings, never. They all do it by feel and that's how I was taught. And if you said you tightened them to 20 ft-lbs, most if not all would tell you that's too tight!
Second - see the excerpt below from an issue of Packard's 1956 Service Counselor.
I should add that I've tried this method once or twice to see how it matches against the "feel" method and it's approximately the same. I'd use it for any front wheel bearings of similar style and size, back into the 30s.
