Update: 230, 240, 0r 250 ft-lbs is no where near enough. This is why I use clock positions to convey the tightness of the nut, as I never knew the torque.
Stay tuned for a NEW DIY by dwight, with a new torque-to-yield process.
It will likely be 230, PLUS 2 clock positions.
This is how I have always done them, I just never bothered to measure the torque. I did it today solely for the purpose of passing the info along.

It's a bit hard to find torque wrenches that measure correctly in the 250 range.

How are you metering what enough is?

SnapOn 3/4" 100-600 ft-lbs
Stanley 1" 200-2000 ft-lbs
The wrench in this video goes to 600 ft-lbs and the he's tightening the nuts to 370 ft-lbs.

skkppy measured it to about 380-400 ft-lbs.

Just tell them you want the axle nuts retorqued to 250ft-lbs. There is a Honda TSB, but it states to retorque to 220ft-lbs. which is insufficient. I had to fight them a little to get them to go higher by telling them to add it to the notes, that the customer requested a higher torque setting and that if anything broke they weren't responsible.
