Thanks Ryan, saw your post there.
Sometimes we need to post similar threads in different forums hoping to get answers from the members who could be sometimes in either or both forums 😎

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.

All the scenarios you have listed are virtually the same, tighten then back off till you can insert the cotter pin. Install the wheel grab the tire fro 12 ang 6 wiggle ato make sure there is not an abundance of play. Drive and re check.
