If you're referring to the spindle nut on the Square BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles part # TRU97FR. there is no torque spec. There is no torque spec for any spindle nut. I usually will tighten the nut down snug and then a few turns with pliers to seat the grease seal. Then, back the nut off, tighten down till snug and back off 1/4 turn until the retainer or cotter pin slot lines up.
