I have always done wheel bearings by tightening to 70 ft pounds while rotating the tire/wheel to seat the bearings. Then back off till nut is just loose. Re-tighten till snug and wheel is turning free, back off 1/6 turn and lock her up.
Never lost a wheel or bearings in my life, and I have seen to many Christmas Trees LOL.
