Check your cars service manual. Procedure do vary for adjusting/seating bearings. The last thing you want to do is repeat the job again do improper procedures. Sometimes they call for a torque specification to be applied.

For Ford trucks the final factory torque on the final setting is 17 inch pounds

Good enough for us shade tree mechanics. They wanted 500 bucks to change my rotors.

"there is no torque specification for this" last i check there was, some use a inital torque specc to set the bearings then loosen and snug it back hand tight. Some have a outright torque specc for its final lock down.

i do not no who taught him how to do wheel bearings but u need to put a slight preload on the bearing,#2 u don't need to put grease in the bearing cap just wasts it,#3 a good mechanic does not use a carpenters hammer to do mechanical work use a ball pein hammer,this man needs to be taught how to be a mechanic,i have been a mechanic for 60 odd yrs. just my nickles worth.
