As tight as you can get it, many pinions are damaged/destroyed when this nut comes loose causing the pinion to wander in towards the Crownwhee centreline. To allow me to get it really tight I clamp the pinion in a pipe vice when I am tightening this nut -I also Loctite it rather than use the soft tab washer that the factory used.
