torque question
Can anybody tell me what the proper torque is for the 34 mm axle nut? I saw the post about flushing the splines out if you have a clicking noise from the rear, which I do.

From the manual:
*Set the parking brake.
*Insert a drift or punch into the brake rotor cooling fins and against the caliper to prevent the wheel hub and bearing from turning.
*Begin to install the drive shaft retaining nut onto the drive shaft by hand.
*Slowly tighten the nut to draw the drive shaft to the wheel hub and bearing.
*Tighten the drive axle spindle nut to 160 N·m (118 lb ft).
