rear axle bearing retainer nut torque??

[OLAK]

Anyone know what the torque spec is for the bearing retainer plates on the end of a D44. Just finishing up the disk brake conversion and almost forgot I hadn't done a final torque on these nuts/T bolts

I don,t have a factory spec but for that size bolt(M-10)it,s 28-40 ft lbs
if the bolt is smaller (M-8) 14-21 ft lbs.
Or goodntite with a dab of locktite.

they come with these lock nuts, and I did it to 35 ft lb, which seems about right, thanks.
