F53 Brake Advice
I am looking to replace the brake system on our 1996 Dolphin 535 (Ford F53), as the pads are worn and have begun to gouge the rear rotors. Not to mention the entire system is old, so I want to replace...

Now, I'm curious if anyone with experience doing these can tell me if the wheel bearing is normally tightened more, or less, during this procedure? What I mean is, is it common for the nut to go a bit tighter than previously?
The book says 5 clicks back on a new bearing, but 7 clicks back on a used one... in my case I had some noticeable play back and forth (not much though), so my final adjustment (without the torque wrench, should I use the torque wrench?), looks to be one tooth tighter than it was before. Now I have the slightest ever play back and forth... hardly noticeable other than the thunk of metal hitting.
