You don't want the chain super tight so you don't need to pull hard on the rear wheel. Tighten a bit pull a bit, tighten a bit pull a bit. I have herd of people using a tennis ball jamed in between the seat tube and rear wheel to sert to the desired tention and then do up the nuts but I have never found it is needed.
