I've tried every method and only one offers a consistent preload setting, the Kore3 solid bearing spacer with shims. When properly set up the 0.0015 end play wheel movement is minimized and and bearing life maximized.
1) Install the hub + bearings on to the spindle without grease or the inner seal.
2) Using the provided shims, adjust until an end play of 0.0015" is met.
3) Disassemble and pack the bearings full, internal housing and cap 1/3 - 1/2 full of grease, install the seals, and reassemble using the same shim and spacer pack.
