If you overtighten them, they'll eventually die. But if you snug them up--assuming you know for a fact that they are loose--then it won't hurt. Like Patrick said, regrease them. the grease eventually spins out and they'll love being repacked. Make sure you have the tightening/torque figures correct, and a new cotter pin. They do have the ability to be adjusted a little bit, but if they are way out, chances are that the bearing rollers or the races (or both) are beyond bothering with adjustment anymore.
