In my experience, propeller nuts should not be overly tight. They should be firmly snugged. If the hole for the cotter key doesn't line up, a new hole should be drilled in the shaft.
A prop nut so installed should loosen easily. Opinions may vary on this depending on prop manufacturer's instructions. Dennis C.
