What is the procedure of torqueing a castle nut?

Castellated nuts are used with bolts that have holes drilled in them for cotter pins or safety wire. To torque one, first you bring the fastener to the published torque...say it's 90 lb-ft.

It is always easier to remove a castle nut if you can remove the cotter pin first. Sometimes this is not easy and may require a punch hammer technique and lots of penetrating oil. If all else fails you can sometimes shear off the cotter pin by simply forcing the nut to loosen with a wrench if the tapered stud is still firmly stuck in the tapered socket.
