A method for controlling bearing clearance of a wheel bearing apparatus that has an axial distance T0 and an initial axial clearance δ0 measured between reference surfaces of the wheel hub and the inner ring. A press-fitting operation is temporally stopped while under a positive bearing clearance state during press-fitting of the inner ring onto the cylindrical portion of the wheel hub. An axial distance T1 is measured between the reference surfaces after continuing and completing the press-fitting operation. An axial clearance is obtained δ1 under this state from a formula δ1=δ0−(T0−T1). An axial distance T2 is obtained, after the caulking operation, between the reference surfaces from a formula T2=δ2−δ1−T1. Thus, the axial distance T2 becomes a target value of the bearing clearance δ2, after the caulking operation. A completion end position of the caulking operation of a caulking apparatus is changed.
