I used the same method as when I did my 380SE about 4 years ago which is still OK, the american way of tightening snug then loosen and finger tight. No gage.

Bad wheel bearings can make a number of noises from clunking to a screetch to metal grinding to vibration. Elaborating will help pinpoint the source.
