BH's note about overtightening wheel bearings is well-advised. Most old timers did it by feel, but if you don't have that, the process that Packard recommended in later years is a good one. Tighten the nut to about 20 ft-lbs (to make sure the bearings and cones are "set"). Back off until loose. Retighten to about 4 ft-lbs. Back off to the first available cotter pin hole.
