Hi,
I reread your original post and I'm curious if there was any damage to the spindle after you freed up the seized bearing ? Was there rust or evidence of heating ? I've never seen that.
If this car is new to you, it might be a good idea to check out your rear bearings before too long.
It's confusing when every source seems to have a different tightening procedure.
I think they all end up at the same place, but this video might give you some insights on where that place is, and why it's important to get there.
