Default Spindle Torque Specs

Hi,
Was hoping someone could provide me with correct torque specs for the two steering arm(tie rod end arm) to spindle bolts and the one large bolt above them securing dust shield. For some reason these specs are not listed in any of my manuals.
Thank you!

In my Mid-America assemby Manual it says 30-40 Ft. Lbs. if you are talking about the castle nuts. You tighten them up to the torque specs. and a little more until you can get the cotter pin in.
