    It's not really a torque issue. It's something you feel. Tighten the nut until the hub won't turn then back it off until you can spin it with two fingers. You do this before you adjust the brakes so the hub spins freely. Once set then adjust your brakes. The cotter pin keeps the nut from backing off.
