So should I just tighten them finger tight? Any harm in torquing them down and backing off?

Here is the instructions from Dexter, others brands are all the same.

After a new bearing install the instructions say to tighten to 50 lbs, but that high figure isn't necessary when doing basic service after the initial install.

Note that there is no preload on bearings when finished, there should be a very slight amount of clearance.
