Quick torque specs please...

[John Cody Forbes]

The tie rod one grunt I'm all for, but I'm always sorta leery about wheel 
bearing damage if the axle nut (or bolt where applicable) isn't tightened 
correctly. That said, I have in the past used a air wrench 'gdunk' spec 
which happens to be 3 gdunks for the axle nut and 10 gdunks for the crank 
bolt (don't let the s-listers see that!!) ;-).
