One thing I would add to what has already been said is this...as I recall,
the text book says for a tapered bearing, torque to 20 foot pounds while
rotating the wheel to fully seat the bearings,  then back off and tighten
finger tight (no load).  (Backup if needed to select a key slot.)  A ball
bearing requires a preload. I believe that it is a 20 foot-pounds preload.
