Tie rod question

I replaced right and left tie rods at the spindle arms on my 52 F1. Just wondering how tight to tighten the castle nut. Started to tighten and was really bulging out the rubber which I don’t want to rupture. Should I remove the grease zert before tightening or should the castle nut tighten down?
