Default quick question

hey on the rotor hub assembly that inner 4 prong nut(the one that the multi hole ring sets on) closest to the wheel bearing does that goin on hand tight or is there a ceratin way to put that back on ..also on one side the outer 4 prong bolt behind that gear was on wicked tight but the other one just unscrewed with no wrenching..so im guessin it goes on pretty tight and the other one was just way too loose?

as many of these axles as ive torn apart no two are ever the same. ive had to use a impact before to get that inner nut off it was so tight.

heres the technique i always use. after you get bearing in tighten that inner nut pretty tight. like one handed snug with the 1/2 inch wrench. then back it off like a eighth or quater turn. just about where the rotor should spin freely and has no up and down or in and out play. then try to slide that washer on to line up with the little holes on the tab of that nut. and just tighten it or lossen it whichever way is closest to do so. then the outside nut i snug on there. never had any fall off on me yet
