Should be 30 ft. lbs. IIRC. Doesn't your google work? This is pretty easy stuff to look up.

Yes I know I know, but I gogoled for 15 minutes. I also google before asking. Trust me.... I suppose I was not asking correctly.

33 ft. lbs. according to the Ford manual. It's pretty tough to get a consistant torque on these nuts because of how they affect each other.
