How to i re-install front rotors? 06 2WD

I bought new rotors and they come with the wheel bearings already in them. I heard there's a specific order in which to re-install them? Something about tightening it. then backing it out five turns and re-tightening it? Can anyone help?
-thanks

You also need a pair of replacement spindle nuts. They are torque-to-yield and CANNOT be reused.

Unfortunately the old way of "snug it up then back it off half a turn" no longer applies. The nuts are torqued to 295 ft/lbs and left alone.

I would encourage you to consider returning the one piece rotors and invest in the Centric two-piece hub conversion kit. For About 2/3 the cost of a factory replacement rotor the kit allows future rotor replacements with the far less expensive detachable 4wd rotors. The kit comes complete with replacement spindle nuts.
