re. 200tq axle bolt torque

[Ben Swann]

Offhand recollection is 170 ft-lbs.

I usually put my weight (~150lbs) 1.5' from center.  You'll know when it is 
torqued down! as it won't budge after that.

Can someone reply off list with the torque spec for the big bolt that
holds the drive axle into the hub on the 200tq. I'm trying to get a
newly acquired car on the road before the snow flies and the Bentley
hasn't made it here yet. The 5k book has been working for most torque
specs but due to the design change of the drive axle retention method
I'm in a pinch.
