I know that when I tighten mine, my Torque wrench only goes up to 150, so I let it click and give it a bit more. I have never had one loose on me yet.

Wheel Bearings, on the Car
I use a bearing press that I bought at harbor freight, as well as a bearing separator to get the inner races off the hub.
Axle bearings can be ruined in as little as 6 inches travel if the axles are off the car or the nuts are loose.
