Torque Spec on Spindle Nut

On the Dana 70 what is the torque spec on the spindle nut so I'll have it right when I put it all back together. Thanks

- After installing the hub without damaging the inner wheel seal, install the outer bearing, and outer wheel bearing adjustment nut.

- Tighten the adjustment nut to 120 - 140 ft/lbs while rotating the wheel.

- Loosen the adjustment nut 1/3 of a turn to provide 0.001-inch to 0.006-inch wheel bearing end play.

- Tap the nut lock into the spindle key-way and adjustment nut.

- Install the axle shaft, . . . . . blah, blah . .

So says the FSM under Wheel Bearing Service, page 3-33.
