Excuse my ignorance but I don't know what WMS is.
Simply put you do the the adjusting shims up until they are the right preload and then wind them across evenly until the dial gauge says you have 5-7 thou of an inch backlash between the teeth.
After doing the bearings up tight the right preload is 1.5 holes back.
Probably useless info for what you want
