[DeTomaso] Axle Nut torque

[tony DiGiovanna]

Thats if you are using the stock (or stock-like) spacer between the bearing
inner races.  If you go to tapered bearings, you can eliminate the spacer
and go with 25 ft-lbs plus alternative anti-rotation treatment of the nuts.

Lots.   400 ft/lbs or thereabouts.   I recall that there was some early
printed guidance saying 275 ft/lbs and this was superceded by the higher
number,
but I can't find any evidence of that?
