wheel to axle hub nut

[M1911A1]

I need to replace a front and a rear wheel bearing on my 04, are the hub nuts threads left handed or right handed? And what's the reassembling torque?

They are traditional threads. righty tighty, lefty loosey!.

Haynes lists 83 ft-lbs for the front. As for the back, they don't recommend us non-professionals to even try.

Haynes is wrong, or a typo? Big Nut Axle Nut in front is 184lbs, 83lbs was for the wheel hub bolts. Not sure about the rear. . .but it be well north of 100lbs.
