tighten it down as much as possible without causing strain to anything. If you have teh stock axle, get those allen heads nice and snug, and take a little piece of metal or a screw driver ( 2 on the stock preload nut)
My preload nut was actually hand loose when i changed axles:eek: good thing i caught that. I just tightened it up VERy much, til i couldn't ne and it stayed for about 2months until i took it off..
