Default Hub Nut

So I just changed the front wheel bearings on my 03 v6 and I was browsing the internet to check and see what the torque specs were for the hub nut, and I failed to find any specs specifically for my car. But what I did find for a lot of similar years and models said that the nut was supposed to be torqued to close to 270ft/lbs of torque, and that the nut was a single use item and should be replaced with the hub. The torque specs I am less concerned with, but does anyone have a confirmation on that single use of the hub nut?

I reused mine on the last two Mustangs I did. No problems.

Awesome. I just torqued it way down with a breaker bar and some loc-tite, should be on there pretty good.
