Pinion shaft nut torque?

Could anyone with a mid to late 90's Evo manual handy give me the pinion shaft nut torque and whether to use Loctite or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Place 2 drops of Loctite 262 (red) on threads and tighten to 35-45 ft-lbs. Pinion shaft hex nut has RIGHT-HAND threads.

This is circa 1996.

91 uses a different nut, 97 just has a 15/16 hex nut, but yes I have the special tool and pinion gear locking tool, just need the tightening info.

Note: 15/16 is the wrench size, not the thread.
