Spindle nut torque

I have a 97 F350 2wd and I need to replace my front wheel bearings. Can anyone confirm the below toque amounts and sequence to complete this job. Thanks.

Tighten wheel bearing adjusting nut to 23-34 Nm (17-25 ft lb) while rotating the disc brake rotor in the opposite direction. Back nut off approximately one half turn.

Tighten nut to 2.03-2.26 Nm (18-20 in lb) while rotating the disc brake rotor.

o End play should be 0.006-0.127mm (0.00025-0.005 in) .
o Torque required to rotate the hub should be 1.13-2.82 Nm (10-25 in lb)
