Torque specifications for wheel hub

Like toolmanmike, I've been doing this sort of thing for 50 some years now. If we're talking about a spindle nut, I tighten it with some channel locks to make sure everything is seated, then back it off so the nut is loose, now tighten it with just your fingers until all free play is gone. Rotate the cage around on the nut until the cotter pin will drop through and you're done. If none of the slots in the cage will allow the cotter pin to just slide through, you can tighten the nut just tad to get one to line up and work. Do not loosen the nut to achieve this! Give the washer under the nut a slight pry with a screw driver to make sure it's still easy to move if you have to tighten the nut slightly more than finger tight. Spread the cotter pin and tap the grease cap on. If you're talking the spindle to ball joint bolts, the torque is 100 ft. lbs
