There is actually a little more to it than that if you really want to set them up right. The shims in the center of the mount set up the bearing preload. The bearings should be preloaded just a little beyond the point when all the end float is gone and the shims mean you can just tighten the collar to a specified torque and know that the bearing load is right. It is a little subjective in these versus things like older car service manuals I used to have where you were meant to load up a wheel bering bearing until it took a specified amount of torque applied by pulling on the wheel stud to start the hub rotating (Versus new ones where the bearing is often a sealed part just bolted in on its own premounted flange and adjusting it is via buying a new one)
