replacing front hubs TR6

[Robert J Carley <rcarley@uoguelph.ca>]

Can someone advise me on the correct replacement/tightening method for
putting the front hubs back on to the stub axles of a TR6 1973.  The
factory manual says to tighten the slotted nut to 5 lbs, but my torque
wrench doesn't go that low.
Do you tighten the slotted nut until the hub/ brake disc does not rotate,
then slightly slacken off until it moves slowly, then insert cotter pin?

Thanks
