Default Tapered Bearings

I have a 1999 fatboy, tapered bearings, 3/4 axle. I just put on a new tire and serviced the bearings and replaced the seals. Can some one give me the proper installation procedure for these bearings. I am use to roller bearings. I have had seberal people tell me how, but not sure who to listen to. Do not want to ruin my wheels or have an unsafe scoot.
Thx
