can someone please explaing this
when you repack bearings and you put hub back on i have heard you tighten down the nut to seat the bearings than loosen it, than retighten to finger tight is this the proper way.

Yup,pretty close.
I would only add,tighten the bearing down is somewhat subjetive. You only tighten it lightly wrench tight while slowly spinning the wheel.
Stop spinning wheel,loosen nut half round,finger tighten to last hole that will recieve retainer.
If you wrench tighten as you would the lug nuts,the bearing will likly be deformed and soon catastorply fail.:S
