The recommendation I've seen is to be able to push the thrust washer behind the
nut side to side with a screwdriver blade.    How much force?  Well, it might
just be possible to push it directly with your finger, but would slide easily by
pushing with the screwdriver.
It just makes sure you've not pinched the bearing too tight.  Everything's
steel, so it doesn't make much difference as the temp changes.
