Default Need help fast!!! Flex joint

I have my jeep in a buddy's garage so I got to get it out tonight. I am rebuilding the RE super-flex joint's on my lower control arms, so they are the large ones. My question is when I install the new teflon races what is the torque specs on the big nut ( the one the special spanner tool goes on)?????????????????????????????? Thanks.

I just talked to a service rep and he said " We have a cheapy impact gun and we just go till it stalls out. I don't THINK there is a torque spec" EXACT WORDS!!!! So I guess thats what i ill do.

Not sure what is happening and why ppl are getting bad customer service. I have always gotten good service, and when ever I have had a question they have answered it, even if the part was a used part, and not bought from them.
