aligning optical axes?

Simple question (I think). When first attaching a new OTA to a GEQ mount, how do people ensure that the optical axis of the OTA is aligned with the RA rotation axis of the mount, or do they just hope for the best? And if they need to collimate the mirrors later, doesn't that necessitate subsequent re-aligning of the two axes as well?
