Allan,

Wardner has it RIGHT.

Tapered roller front wheel bearings are not commonly pre-loaded, nor are tapered roller bearings used on the rear wheels of pickups or trucks.

If you have it jacked up, and wiggle the wheel around, there needs to be a tiny amount of play.

If the hubcap is off, and you listen closely, you can hear a little noise from the grease tearing loose as the bearings wiggle.

Following the "torque and loosen" procedure, as posted by "Fromjb2" sets the bearings up with that tiny amount of free play.

Of course, transmission and differential tapered roller bearings are another matter, and get pre-laded.
