<<Rule #2: Join the 90's; toss the shims. That is, modern tapered bearings are
meant to have some side loading so omit the shims, grease everything up real
good, and tighten down the castellated nut good and hard like you do on
American cars. Then back up at least one quarter until a hole aligns for the
cotter pin.>>

I did this after seizing a hub bearing after a 6 hour run back from a Nevada
meet at higher speeds in our MGC. I set end float by feel, and it works just
fine.
