axle end play

Using a dial indicator mounted on the left axle and indicating on the brake backing plate, turn the adjuster clockwise until both wheel bearings are seated and there is ZERO end play in the axle shafts. Back off the adjuster counterclockwise approximately four notches to establish and axle shaft end play of .008" - .018" inch.
Tap end of left axle shaft lightly with a non metallic mallet (dead blow hammer) to seat right wheel bearing and rotate axle shafts several times for a true end play reading.
Remove one retainer nut and install adjuster lock, install nut and torque to 30 -35 foot pounds.
Recheck axle end play, if it is not within tolerance of .008" - .018" repeat adjustment procedure.

You'll know when you have them seated, you will feel no movement when trying to push/pull.
