I don't torque mine. Just get it tight. Never had a problem removing them months or years laterm

Always put em on snug. That way if you are brapping before it goes in the water it doesnt lossen up. Use grease, or antisieze in the shaft threads.

Alright sounds good, I don't have a prop tool so is there any way to get the job done without it?

Just out of curiosity, would I be able to get away with letting it tighten itself in the water if I don't plan on taking her apart again in the near future

You should be fine, just get it as tight as you can, and fire it up for first time while still attached to your trailer, pump in the water. If you brap it out of the water, it COULD cause problems, though unlikely.
