After pulling them in with the nut and washer setup, I like to give them a 'security' whack on the back with a hammer and one more turn of the wrench, this requires the axle out of course. And then check them after driving for a short distance the first time, which is a good alternative when you don't remove the axle.
As for belting on the bearings, the two good whacks it takes to get them moving shouldn't be a problem, surely?

I've done it Herb's way for years, including when in the service station. Never a problem. You don't have to whack them that hard. But if you have the time and inclination, go ahead and pull the axles. Nothing wrong with being careful.

When I did the old 7 1/4 rear years ago, it only took one or two whacks to pop each one out i left the nut on so as not to bugger the threads, was quick and painless. When I put the 8 3/4 in last January, I converted them while the axles were out.
