The recommended torque is 45 ft lbs, then to the next split pin hole.
The slight play is most likely due to the hub being worn. As a consequence, the outer bearing races are close together than they should be and the inner races aren't seating properly on the ramps in the inner races. Got that? So why aren't they seating when you tighten the nut? Because the cast iron spacer is holding them apart. The solution is to machine a little off the spacer. You can use a lathe if one is avaailable, or a linisher, or if you must a bench grinder, but rotate the spacer as you do the job so as to machine an equal amount off the face. And no guesswork - measure before and after with some calipers, not a ruler. With .006" play at the rotor, you aren't likely to need no more than .001" off the spacer.
