Default Model 18 rear sight blade install?

I finally got the parts to replace my 18-2 sight blade. My question is after you tighten the nut and screw do you back off the nut a 1/4 turn before you stake the screw or do you leave it tight and then stake it with a set punch?

I need higher rear sight blades for the S&W rear sight. Where did you get the blades and how long did it take to get them?

Thank you.
