If you have the shims right, then you can go tight. I think the manual shows them tightening it with an adjustable wrench. Feel free to use a normal wrench or socket. No need to go to max torque....even 100 pounds will do provided you lock it into place with the second nut and tab washer. These days, Loctite on clean threads would do it as well.
