In my shop manual, I can't find a torque value for the Alpine's axle
nuts (the nuts that hold the hub onto the axle).  When my dad and I
put the hubs from the parts car on, we basically tightened them as
tight as we could get them.  This turned out to be about 120 ft-lbs,
using a low-budget Sears torque wrench.  Should these nuts be torqued 
to a specific value, or just as tight as we can get them?

TIA,
