Bearing gets set it, then drive the race in, install snap ring so that the race gets pulled against it when bearings get torqued.
After it's all installed, flip the hub over and drive the race back against the snap ring. Torquing the nut wont guarantee the race seats fully against the snap ring, if it doesn't the race will move with the weight / pressure of the truck making the bearings loose again.
I thought that is why they say to torque to such a high value initially?
I am just curious. I noticed that it took lots of turns with the socket, while rolling the hub, to seat mine, so I figured that it was good.
I've never experienced I but I've read several times about people having loose bearings after servicing without driving the race against the ring.
