tightening wheel bearings

I read a hundred threads on the correct way to tighten a wheel bearing but I still have a question. I put a rotor I had in my parts bin on my 84 300D. I've always used the "tighten until the rotor stops and back off 1/3 of a turn" method. This hub will not do that. It will not tighten enough to keep the rotor from turning. What would cause this? I'm afraid to tighten it anymore, as I know I'm way past where it was always set. I'm looking for a dial indicator but for now would like to get close on the adjustment. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy
