Interesting !

How much more do you have to tighten the bearing to take the play out ? Do you just tighten the retaining nut or do you back off and start again ?

I don't know if this is correct, but I a long time ago (when I was a wizard in training) was taught to get the wheel spinning and then crank down on the nut until it stop. Repeat this a couple of times and then back off just enough until the wheel will spin freely. Check after a hundred miles or so.
