If the torque is what you are looking for here it is.
Install inner nut while turing hub & drum to 50 foot lbs. Back off 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Install lock washer and then outer nut. Torque outer nut 100 to 150 foot lbs. Safety the nuts by bending the tabs on thelcok washer. I would advise going to 150 ft lbs. since I had one loosen up due to a bad safety job.
Torque for bolts holding axle shafts and drive flanges are 90 foot lbs.
The torque is the same for front and rear hubs.
Hope this is what you need.
