At my buddy's shop they tighten snug and then back off 1/4 turn.

The important thing is not too tight to damage bearings and not too loose to give you play.

17 inch pounds...wow. Thats like hand tight. I knew it was a small amount of torque, though I didn't realize how small.I've always rotated the wheel when tightening but that 3 step makes complete sense. Good info, Cliff.
