Torque specs

So installed my new spindles last night and for the life of me I could not find the torque specs for the lower ball joint or the brake rotor spindle.

It's kinda wierd cause the book I was looking at had the upper ball joint nut torque spec....you'd think the lower ball joint nut spec would be right there....nope.

BTW: 72 1/2 ton front suspension specs.
