Correct torque for rear axle

[Melchior]

Hi, can anybody help what is the correct torque for this castellated nut of the rear axle please?

Since these are not tapered bearings in the wheel hubs, there is no preload on the bearing, so the torque is not as crucial. Tight would be good, getting cotter pin to line up, even better! Compare specs on other cars, and tighten accordingly.
