Quick question: How tight do I need to tighten the castle nut before I stake it?

Okay but I don't have a, I guess "special" torque wrench. How tight by hand with the normal castle nut wrench?

Thats kinda tricky to describe in writing. If you get it good and tight and then steak it, it will be fine.

I told my vo-tech teacher once that I torqued something to "two ughs and a grunt", and he just frowned at me.

Thats 40 INCH pounds. Thats 4 pound push at the end of a 10 inch long wrench. Thats not alot.
