If you have tapers well-matched - new crank is good - and sufficiently high initial torque (300-350 in-lbs) it shouldn't come loose. After you remove them, and especially if you move them, then you need to check torque regularly. A good idea is to replace washers, or at least stuff the old ones before you reinstall. Peanut butter wrench is a really nice tool to have in your distance kit. Compass has a 15mm last I looked, and I found a 14mm at Mel Pinto Imports. Pretty much everything you can squeeze with one hand on the wrench and crank arm is about perfect torque.
