Finely found it


Tighten lock nut to 20 ft-lbs/27 Nm. Loosen nut
slightly until it can be turned by hand. Use spring
scale on hub wheel stud to measure bearing
grease seal drag. Add grease seal drag reading
to value of .6-1.9 lbs/2.6-8.5 N. Turn adjusting
nut slowly until specified preload is obtained.
After preload adjustment, stake nut in position.

Wow! I'da been making a trip to WallyWorld for a fish scale to follow those directions! Haven't got any kind of spring scale around the house or shop!
