Rear Wheel Bearing

I have an '88 non-Quattro 90.  I replaced the rear
right side wheel bearings and races about 5 months
ago.  I started getting a periodic squealing/grinding
noise when I break a couple weeks ago.  I pulled the
bearings and checked them and they look fine.  So do
the races.  I re-packed them and tightened according
to the Bentley spec.  I am still getting that noise.
The wheel is solid.  (no wobble with the car jacked
up) so I'm lost.  Any ideas?  Is it possible I over
tightened them the first time and messed up the works?
 Is the "tighten untill you can move the washer with a
screwdriver" spec for real?
