Series 3 Wheel hub nut

While we're on this I seem to be takeing hubs off every few weeks, it certainly feels that way. Bearings are always great condition but studs get loose and seals fail (I now only fit Corteco - so far so good) but setting the end float is a pain - I use a dial gauge and mag base. I'm sure its quicker and more accurate to tighten, back off with an allowance for the lock nut (which takes the play out the thread). I did work it out from the pitch and I've been experimenting, it seems to be around 1 to 1 1/2 flats. Anyone got else got a rule of thumb?
