How much do you tighten front wheel bearings?

Hey folks,
I'm finishing up a front brake job on my '87 300D, and I decided to repack the outer bearings while I was in there. Can someone tell me the best way to tighten the outer nut (the one that's split with the allen bolt) that holds the bearing? How do you know how tight/loose to make it? What is the procedure? Thanks!
