Mate, just tighten till it strips, then back it off half a turn.........
I use a similar method to BG, except I use a fitting tool and not a shifter. But I just do it up to TFAR specs. (That Feels About Right).........

Stick your tongue out to the right not left.
Remember...Tongue right for tight....Tongue left for loose.
