Reply to "Shaft nut torque(s)"

I did a little googling yesterday looking for setting tapered bearing .
here is an interesting one from Timpken (truck wheels though)
Basically torque it HARD to seat the bearing.
back it off and torque it hard
back it of a flat and verify ~0.001 endplay

and an intersting collection workshop procedures for several different vehicle makes (doesn't specifiy bearing design)

from a bearing design aspect, these recomendations appear to favor endplay, where I would agree a "cold" preload would be better.
