Exclamation How do i properly re-install brake hub assembly?

So after taking off my front wheels and brakes with the calipers to machine (lathe) my rotors to a newly usable level, i re-packed my bearings and now have to put them back in. What is the proper way of approaching this? (assuming that i mayyyyy have already put it back on without thinking about it...)

Good rule of thumb, tighten down until the washer behind the spindle nut can't be moved back and forth, then back off until it is moveable once again. I use a screwdriver inside the hub, just **** the screwdrver and move the washer, tighten slightly, then go to the other side and do the same and continue until the above is satisfied.
