dana 60 torque ???

I've searched here and seen it get asked here but never really answered
Soooo, what are the CORRECT torque specs for the rear axle 2 9/16 inner and outer nuts against the wheel bearings and the axle shaft 5/8 bolts?

The axle shaft bolts I wanna say get 60 ft lbs? That or tight plus a quarter. The inner spindle nuts don't really get torqued. Tighten the inner nut until there is significant drag on the hub when you're spinning it. Then back it off half a turn and re-tighten while spinning the hub until you get slight drag. With new bearings it's a good idea to pre-load them a little more. The locking washer deal goes in next, followed by the other nut. Snug it up good and bend the tabs on the lock washer over the nut.

Yours is right along with what I have done.
Thanks
