Just compare the bolt sizes to a chart for standard bolts. That'll do fine. For stuff like the tie rods, tighten them until they feel tight, and move them further until the groove in the crown nut lines up with the hole.

Personally, I'd just do it like I do everything else. "Tight." "Really Tight." "I don't want that falling off!"
