Also, do it in 2 stages. First torque all the nuts to 60 ft-lbs and then make a second pass at 100 ft-lbs.

100 lb-ft. And don't forget to check the torque on them again after driving 50 - 75 miles. An important safety tip!

Be sure to use a "click" type torque wrench. The "beam" style is not very accurate.
