The acceptable tolerance I think is 1 - 5 thousandths of an inch end play 😂. But like other have said if your not blowing out seals regularly your wheels are not flying off.....your good. snug down on the bearing. Back off a little. and torque the snot (by hand) out of the outer lock nut. The indicator thing works really well to check what you're getting. Once the lock nut is tightened, it removes all the "slop" from the threads on the adjusting nut. So, depending on the pitch line clearance of the adjusting nut and the spindle, the lock nut will remove a different amount of clearance. 1.5 flats might be good on some. Might need more or less on another. I like to check for clearance with an indicator after the lock nut is tightened. But, in all reality, as long as there is a little clearance there, it's probably not all that critical. If there is no clearance at all, well, that could cause some issues. Too much clearance...yeah that could cause problems too. But the sweet spot is fairly generous. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
