If you have a racheting nut this is your torque
BTW: It's a full float D60, the 10.25 Sterling (semi-float) doesn't have a hub nut (c-clips instead)

After tightening hub nut to 75-88 Nm (55-65 lb-ft), Rotate hub occasionally while tightening,
ratchet back eight teeth or notches on the hub nut (1/6 turn).
Eight clicks must be heard in order to have performed the procedure correctly.

NOTE: The hub nut will ratchet as torque is applied.

Remember, the last step of this procedure is to tighten the axle shaft bolts to specification,
after the lug nuts have been tightened.

Lug nuts =170-230Nm (126-170 lb-ft).

Tighten eight axle shaft retaining bolts to 95-115 Nm (70-85 lb-ft).

easiest way to tell a 60 from a sterling is the diff cover. a sterling has no plug oni the cover, its on the side close to the pinion. the 60 has a plug very easily seen.
