Rear axle & freewheel...

Axle:
Ok... took my rear axle out just a bit ago to clean/grease it. As you know, there are several fasteners to loosen before having all the parts out. I don't know the names of the nuts, but there were like 3 or 4 (spacer included). How tight should the inner-most (2) nuts be? To tight and it won't spin, to loose and the axle won't ride true inside the hub.
I just found a balance - some middle ground and finished up, but I want the professional opinion.
Freewheel:
Are there brand/model specific tools to remove a freewheel or is there a gereral tool that works?
