I don't know what the spec is, but I've taken mine off more than I change my underwear and nothing has happened since.

I just made sure it's tight.

Just changed mine last week. I'm going to have to agree....TIGHT is the spec. That would suck if you are turning right on a curve and your car decides to go straight. Not a good look.
