You tighten it (using an old crush collar) to the same spot or 1/16th tighter OR (using a new crush collar) to the correct SPINNING drag on the pinion bearings....20-25 inch/pounds IIRC using a beam style torque wrench. I've never re-used a crush collar and you really aren't supposed to but some will say it is acceptable.
