Front axle nut torque specs?

Anyone know what the front axle nut torque spec is? I assume it's torqued, then backed off 1/8 turn or something? I am want to work on it some, but don't have a manual yet! TIA!

This for a 1986 z28.

There is a torque spec. but it's not needed, just tighten the nut with channel locks or a socket if you have one while spinning the rotor, when the rotor gets harder to turn and the nut feels tight back it off till the nut will line up with the cotter pin hole, the rotor should spin freely then.
