I wish you would. 20 years ago those type of rotors were common on almost everything. Now with the advent of mostly front wheel drive and a lot of 4 wheel drive vehicles new enthusiast aren't that familiar with the procedure. Overtightening the main nut will cause the bearings to be overloaded and require unneccessary repair or replacement. You are correct in that there is not much out there on the net that gives a good description. Even the link I provided wasn't much.

Glad you got it all taken care of.
