The problem with such a description is that nobody can define "spin freely". You back off the nut so that you think that it "spins freely". But, in reality, it needs to back off another 1/16 of a turn to truly release all preload. You don't know this because you didn't back it off the extra 1/16 looking for the point where all preload is released.
The description is fraught with risk and ought to be expanded if one must use the Chevy way of tightening a wheel bearing.
You are aware of the FSM spec of .0005" axial play.........correct?
