Dial Indicator Measurements For Front Wheel Bearing Question

So I read the various posts on the dreaded front wheel bearing adjustments after rotor replacement and decided to purchase a dial indicator and magnetic mount at Harbor Freight. I set up the dial indicator so that the tip just came short of making contact with the wheel spindle end and using the fine adjustment, loaded the indicator to 2 and zeroed out when loaded. I checked clearance on both sides and found that on the passenger side (123 wagon) I was able to move the indicator through 1 line and on the driver side, maybe a half line. The bearings have been fine up to this point (no noises) and the grease did not look/smelled baked. I will try to create these same clearances when I actually pull rotors to replace and repack outer bearings tomorrow but I thought it would be a good idea to get a measurement frame of reference in advance of pulling the rotors given my front wheel bearings have been performing fine without overheating. Any thoughts?
