Great old school stuff, this is how we did it 50 years ago in shop class. I am still running the original rotors on my 72 Cheyenne( C20 8 lug wheels) They put a lot of meat on them back then. Guess it's about time to check out the bearings.
Why would you post a video about something you don't much about. You're supposed to turn the wheel while you tighten the bearing nut with a torque wrench and then back off a little before you put the cotter pin in.
You are correct, tighten to seat the bearing then back it off a bit and put the cotter pin in. That's the procedure and that's what we did. It's been 3 years and it's been cruising right along. Darn good old truck. Not the prettiest thing, but it does its job. Needs some rust repair, but thats a whole other project.

Weird. I don't hear it. But I'll take that as a compliment!
What size wheel and tire ?
The truck has 16” wheels. Tires are 265/75/16 Pathfinders from Discount Tire. It’s a little wider tire, but they don’t rub at all.
You do need that much grease inside of there. It’s not ridiculous. Think about how much gets displaced from movement. It absolutely isn’t ridiculous.

What’s the torque?for me I didn’t spin the wheel and arm torqued it to 15 lbs then backed off I/4 turn.
