Don't make a problem where there ain't none !
As Jim B says, just run it up to that next hole and stick the cotter in place, easy. Not rocket science. When a guy had no 'torque wrench', and put a 'cheater' bar/pipe onto wrench, do you think that he stopped at 125/whatever ?
And, don't forget to recheck for tight/loose after running car a ways and from time to time. Not going to fail from tooo tight, but will fail from toloose.
