Hope this helps.

Tighten the adjustment nut to 163-190 N·m (120-140 ft. lbs.) while rotating the wheel.
Loosen the adjustment nut 1/8 of-a-turn to provide 0.001-inch to 0.010-inch wheel bearing end play.
Tap the locking wedge into the spindle keyway and adjustment nut. Try to ensure that the locking wedge is installed into a new position in the adjustment nut.
