Default Need Torque Spec: Rear Wheel Spindle Castle Nut

Anyone know the torque spec for the 1 1/16 castle nut on the rear wheel spindle? I found the torque spec for the four bolts that hold the half shaft carrier onto the spindle (60-90 lb/ft), but not for the large castle nut underneath it (where you can half-*** grease the outer bearings using that $25 cylindrical tool). Thanks!

and if the cotter pin hole doesn't line up, go tighter. Do not back it off.
