Prop shaft flange torque

Hi all
I'm trying to find the torque setting for the nut that holds the prop flange on to the diff pinion, I've found the setting for gearbox end (120lb/ft) but can't find the diff end.
P.S. it's a 5 speed and it's the outer nut not the preload nut.
TIA
Jim

According to the TR8 ROM:

Pinion flange to pinion . . . . 16 mm Nyloc nut . . . . . 160 Nm 120 lbf ft

Thanks Darrell I thought it might be the same as the gearbox end but wasn't sure.
