Old Men have lots of stories.

I use the first method: Tighten snug than back off one castellated.

After Mrs. Button died I needed to get outa here. I planned to go to Key West and meet the "GATOR" Club for the Run. My Mentor suggested I check the front wheel bearings. After a week or so My Mentor asked Me "Did You check the Wheel Bearings". "No but I will". The day before I was to leave again "Did You check Your Wheel Bearings". My Mentor is rarely wrong. I delayed My trip a day and removed the Bearings. Took them to My Machinist who told Me "These are no good" and ordered Me a new set. Had I not checked them I probably would have broken down in the middle of Montana or South Dakota. Not a good place to find bearings.
