Default Outer Tie Rod Jam Nuts

I feel pretty stupid asking this but I need to replace my outer tie rod ends and was wondering what the torque specs are on the castellated nut and the jam nuts for the tie rod ends. Any help would be great, thanks

Whatever my 3/8 impact gun will tighten to on the castle nut and for the jam nut I just make sure it's pretty snug. I wouldn't worry too much about jam nut since alignment tech will tighten it. You r getting an alignment right? If not your toe is gonna be off.
