I have attached a video by Timken which shows the correct procedure for repacking trailer bearings.
I can recall a relatively recent post where there was some discussion on this but Timken should know.

I do most of this but haven't used a dial indicator to see the end float, and probably not applicable when you have castellated nuts.

I've never seen a locking clip like that one.

The torque setting of 25ft lbs is a useful thing to know.

The next time I look at my trailer hubs, I'll try my dial test indicator to check end float.
