One object of the present invention is to provide method for controlling bearing clearance of wheel bearing apparatus which can exactly and stably control the bearing clearance. According to the present invention, there is provided method for controlling bearing clearance of wheel bearing apparatus comprising steps of measuring an axial distance T0 and an initial axial clearance ´0 between reference surfaces of the hub wheel and the inner ring with temporally stopping press-fitting operation under a positive bearing clearance state during press-fitting the inner ring onto the cylindrical portion of the hub wheel; measuring an axial distance T1 between the reference surfaces of the hub wheel and the inner ring after further continuation and completion of the press-fitting operation and then obtaining an axial clearance ´1 under this state from a formula ´1=´0-(T0-T1), and obtaining an axial distance T2 after the caulking operation between the reference surfaces of the hub wheel and the inner ring from a formula T2=´2-´1-T1 so that the axial distance T2 becomes a target value of the bearing clearance ´2 after the caulking operation and then changing a completion end position of caulking operation of a caulking apparatus.
