i did mine a while back and they siezed up after one day riding so my advice is dont do it and get sealed bearing or tighten it but only till the hub can still move freely and spin nicely ive had 2 open bearing in 3 months now going to sealed bearing make life so much easyer

You need two cone wrenches. it depends on the hub for size of the wrenches. You then lostnen the outer one while holding the inner one still. Move the inner one to where it is JUST not moving around (the hub). hold the inner one, and tighten the outer one on the inner one and you are done.

hopefully my instructions werent TOO confusing. :D
