Anyone know how much to torque the Hub bolt to the front spindle?

[audi[]viruz]

I have search and found nothing... Here is the bolt I'm talking about.

Any help would be great.

Nothing in the Bentley, points to the bolt and just says [Bolt] lol, i'm actually not as impressed with this one as the MK4 Golf/Jetta version, seems to be missing a lot of torque specs.

Guys, I think he is wondering how to tighten it, not loosen it.

I have always heard 200 Nm + 180 degrees. which would equal 147 ft/lbs + 180*. Not sure how you would get that much torque anyway.

I have actually stripped out a few hubs by going to factory torque specs, and by a few, I mean like 70% of the ones i used to torque to spec...

Actually it 85 ft-lbs/115 Nm, then turn an additional 180° (M14 bolt). 140ft-lbs/190 Nm plus 180° for a M16 bolt.

[J.Owen]

so there you go, 140 ft/lbs, not 147.

Fuck that the bush is being reused, if it fails, the worst that will happen is 600threads may or may not back out. And the CV may or may not come out of its splined hole... I'm ok with my odds lmao
