Boy, talk about making mountains out of mole hills!
Take the damn zerks out and throw them away. Follow the Timken instructions posted above by 8.1al. It shouldn't be necessary to repack the bearings more than every couple of years except to pull a wheel and check the crappy brake linings that were installed.
As far as the bearing adjustments-the outer bearing nut should be tightened fully and the backed off about an 1/8th of a turn allowing for the castle lock or cotter pin to be installed.
Now, come on guys-this ain't rocket science and have a happy thanksgiving. Sure hope I didn't ruffle any of those feathers!
