I know what the manual says but I'm using the pipe wrench method for the removal and to tighten it again. It seems like a FT-lbs for the outer nut quite a bit.

TORQUE: Actual: 88 Nm (9.0 kgf.m, 65 Ibf4t)
Indicated: 79 N.m (8.1 kgf.m, 59 IbfW)

This is what I did.

I turned it by hand until the wheels showed signs of resistance then tightened the inner nut. What are you guys doing that don't have the 45mm and 56mm wrenches that accept a torque wrench?

Can anyone else chime in on this?

i used a big adjustable, and basically tightened it as much as i could get it with out a pipe on there and its been good so far
