Wheel/Brake/Bearing Question

Years ago when I was maintaining large aircraft which had their bearings mounted in the wheel hubs, when changing a wheel we torqued the retaining nut to a number I can't remember while turning the wheel to seat the bearings, then we loosened it right off. Finger tightened, then backed it off until we could install the locking bolt. They used a bolt and lock nut instead a cotter pin. Only enough grease was used pack and coat the bearing itself.

Years later when I started RV'ing, it turned out Dexter's recommended procedure is essentially the same. Go figure.
