It may seem confusing but the answer is related to your set up and hub nut.

According to Haynes - the Hub Bolt is stage 1 tighten to 148 ft lbs, stage 2 angle tighten another 180 deg.
And sorry if I misread the question-  Hub to wheel bearing housing - stage 1 tighten to 52 ibs, stage 2 angle tighten another 90 deg.

Hope that helps
