Try very snug without the pipe extension, then put the pipe on and go
another about 60 degrees, and always continue to the next cotter key hole
(NEVER back up to align the cotter key).  Even with the pipe, you will feel
it getting tight in the last few degrees.  Obviously, this is only an
approximation, but torque wrenches that read greater than 200 ft/lbs have
to be searched for.
