Default Over tightened prop nut?

Hello Troy - I recently received my new 110S after my 110 was destroyed due to a ball bearing failure and wanted to make sure I'm not overtightening the prop nut (maybe this led to the early failure of the bearing in my previous engine???). I normally tighten the locking prop nuts using a 10" wrench and a fair amount of strength. Is it possible that I am over tightening the nut and damaging the bearing? I have yet to run my new 110S and just want to make sure I'm off to a good start.
Thanks,
Steve
