    The torque might/will not be the same now, because what if the holes do not line up for the cotter pin.

    Just go real snug and make the holes line up.

    I do what five finger said. Get it as tight as possible, with the holes lined up. I tighten it down, then check holes, if it needs to go tighter, than it gets tighter.
