Phil Hub Re-assembly torque specs?

Just put the second set of bearings into my tourer's hubs. Trying to figure
out how tight to turn the FSA bearing holder nuts/sleeves against each

I don't have any Phil docs anymore, not does their website seem to talk
about this.

Anyone know how tight they're supposed to be?

Remember how hard you had to turn the Allen wrenches to take it apart?

No tighter than that.

This is not a critical matter.

Yeah, that's the weird thing.
I'm actually rebuilding two sets on two touring bikes.

The ones I'd done before (I replaced bearings 3 years ago before x-US ride)
took a bit of a tug to open them.

The ones that were factory-assembled still were basically finger-tight, both
front and rear.

I'm guessing a little more than finger-tight is appropriate, but I have a
bad tendancy to overtighten things a little.
I rarely actually get out the torque wrench, but was looking for a ballpark
idea?

Thanks for the quick response!
