Default help 97 ram 1500 2 wheel drive front wheel bearings

my dodge service manual says to torque the front wheel bearings to 185 lbs ft. they are tapered bearings and races like I have adjusted all my life, but never with that kind of specs. any help will be appreciated. thanks

The manual assumes Hub and Bearing assembly. Adjust it as you have in the past.
