They are a cassette bearing, can't be tightened as the pre-load is set, you need to replace said bearing..
Unless it's started to wear the stub axle a lil bit, than you can tighten, a lil bit.

i got one of those from him off ebay. the wheel bearings are pretty easy to do when you have that socket.

did mine in a couple of hours taking it very easy.

I was going to do my wheel bearings when I replaced my cv and freshened up the front end but it's f@#$ing hard without the tool...

will do it another time when I have the tool =]

haha I know where the extra seal I got goes now =]
