torque spec needed

[silverbeast]

i want to replace my outer tie rod end in my mkiv jetta;
does anyone know the torque spec for the tie rod end NUT???
i bought the OEM part and the nut seems to the type that has some plastic on the end of the threads....

so is there a torque spec, or just tighten the heck out of it???

thanks.
