tighten it up carefully so that it has smooth rolling resistence(you can feel it even though you cant spin flange) which wont be much of a turn past the point all the free play has gone if it has a crushable spacer

When doing similar on rear axles I always marked the nut and counted the turns then you make sure the nut is back where it was originally.

Can you get away with just replacing the black rubber ring seal in the pic below?
