How did you set the bearing preload on new bearings?

The style he has does not need the preload set. It's done with the center cone that fits between the two bearings. This cone should be checked for proper dimensions (length) before reinstalling (especially if it was run loose), if all is right it will set the end play to proper settings with correct torque. This style will have the nut torqued to 300-350 lbs and not backed off.
