I'm no bearing expert but when I saw the doubled nuts on the handle side, I figured maybe they were factory set to some spec for thrust bearing play or whatever you call it. I didnt want to bugger up something I didnt fully understand.

I'd say there's no "spec" just take up the play without being tight enough to feel drag then hold the inner nut and lock up the outer and you should be good to go.
