How tight should the wheel bearing nut on a 1994 Geo Metro be tightened?

On many of these older set ups where the bearings are "loaded" by the axle nut, there always isnt a torque spec. given. Its best to tighten it while rotating the rotor/ hub assembly and tighten until you get an extremely small amount of "drag" or resistance. After that, dont forget to put your cotter pin or crush the nut collar in the axel indentation!

What happens when rod bearings are to tight?
When rod bearing clearance is too tight the end result is what is called a spun bearing -- definitely a bad thing. Bearing clearance is the difference between the inside diameter of the bearing and the outside diameter of the crankshaft journal to which it is clamped. The bearing is supplied pressurized oil fed by the oil pump, it should never touch the crankshaft journal but should always float on a wedge of oil. If the clearance is too tight the bearing touches or drags on the crankshaft journal and the journal grabs the bearing and spins it inside the housing into which it is clamped -- which in the case of a rod bearing is the big end of the connecting rod. Once this happens it all pretty much self destructs as it chews up the big end of the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal as well.

Make sure all of the pulleys are turning freely. If there is a bad bearing, it could be causing some friction that ends up weakening the belt and resulting in a broken belt. It could be too tight to. You should have about 12mm deflection in the middle of the longest space.
