Also, torque specs for the axle nuts are 123-152 lbs.
any other torque specs we should know?

I recently replaced all four bearing. The fronts weren't bad, stock bearings in a '92. The rears had been replaced by the previous owner and were a mess. The first thing I noticed when I pulled them apart was that the shipping grease was still in the bearings. No surprise why they failed so quickly.
Torque specs. You'll need all the specs for the rear suspension, especially the lateral link-to-knuckle (outer)...heck, here's a link to the specs which are at the end of the PDF file:

This one has a nice cross-section view of the rear hub assembly:
