Default Front wheel bearing torque?

i just changed the front rotors on my 92 gt 5.0 and i was wondering what the torque spec is for the wheel bearings, you dont have to be to accurate in your answer being that i dont have a torque wrench, i just need an idea of how tight

that is what it says in the removal section..17-25 but like I said doesn't mention it in the installation....

after that it says to back it off a little bit ( after you torque it the 17-25 lbs)
