front bearings

[Ernest Husmann <chusmann@execpc.com>]

Wanted to check the front wheel bearing for general condition and clean
and repack them.  According to the book, when you reinstall the bearing
the nut should be tightened so that there is 3 to 5 thou run out.  Not
having a dial indicator, is there a rule of thumb for adjusting the
torque on the bearing (i.e., tighten down and back off one quarter
turn).
