While my front wheel bearings are not to the point of qualifying as
_bad_, the ideal adjustment seems to be between two settings. If I set
them with the cotter pin through the horizontal hole, it seems just a
touch loose. If I turn the nut 1/2 a flat and put the pin through the
vertical hole, they seem a bit tight and sort of bind a bit when I
turn the hub.

What is the wisdom of the list on installing, adjusting, packing,
buying etc. wheel bearings?  Assume that I know nothing on the
subject, because one never knows what minor piece of information one
is missing. Granted, if you insist that hitting your thumb with a
hammer is a critical step in the process, I'll probably want to double
check with others on that detail before I come over to your house and
hit your thumb with a hammer.

listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about.
