torque values for standard front wheel install

I need the torque values for the removal/reinstall of the front wheel. I know it can't be to high, but gutentight seems like not to smart of idea for the front end. Thanks in advance.

Front axle nut is 60-65ft-lbs, or 81.3-88.1 Nm. Front axle slider cap nuts or screws 11-15ft-lb, or 14.9-20.3Nm. Hope this helps. Info came out of the 07 Softail service manual.

If "gutentight" is not a smart idea, neither is working on anything without a manual!
