how tight?

Just how tight do you need to put the nut on that holds the rotors to the spline? I've been told to torque it down pretty good and then back it off about a quarter turn....is this correct?

Install the hub spindle nut. Tighten the hub spindle nut to 23-34 Nm (17-25 lb-ft) while rotating the front disc brake hub and rotor, back off 120-180 degrees and retighten to 2.0-2.3 Nm (18-20 lb-in).
