30lbs, 60lbs then 90 lbs/ft, Can reuse the nuts, just put some oil under the nut first. Re torque it after a few hours.

cheers for the help peeps,how about the 4 bolts?are they the same torque settings as the nut an stud kit?and do i get new bolts...many thanks

Use new stretch bolts on the end holes that's what most seem to do, then follow one of the few different ford recommendations for tightening.
I don't use the long studs but just do my(2wd) arp stud and nut kit up to 120 lbft.
