axel nut torque specs

What's the torque spec for the axel nut on a 95 civic? I know it must be high because those nuts are really hard to get off. Need to know as i am putting a new driveshaft in today.
Thanks

135 ft-lbs.... put some Loctite blue on there, torque it, drive it and heat up the brakes... then torque it again, then make a dent in the side of the nut. I certainly hope you got a NEW nut
