According to the Haynes manual
Screw on a new nut and tighten to a torque of 5lb ft 7nm
Where a torque wrench is not available tighten the nut as hard as you can gripping it with the hands only.
Now unscrew the nut through 30 degrees which will give the correct endfloat of the drum/hub of between 0.001" and 0.004"    0.025mm and 0.100mm

Yes that's about right, it doesn't need to be that tight. Once staked it won't move  :D
