Front wheel bearing help

I'm doing rotors and bearing on the front end of a 96 2500 diesel. Does anyone have the torque specs for the 4 bolts on the back of the housing as well as the big axle nut?
My Dodge manual just says to tighten but doesn't give a specific torque

thanks

I have removed my wheel bearings about half a dozen times. I always tighten them PFT, with a 3/8 ratchet. I also ensure that I put never seize on the Bearing and knuckle. Makes life easier next time. Best of luck
