From memory I think its about 60n/m

Just do the inner CV bolts "good n tight" with new bolts and in stages working around the shaft.

Do the hub nut up as tight as you can with a 24" bar; go for a 1 min drive, then as tight as you can with a 24" bar.

Most indi places do it this way.

From ELSA:

Vehicles with a hexagonal bolt
– Apply brake (a second mechanic is required).
N42-0402
– Tighten the hexagonal bolt to 240 Nm.
– Lower the vehicle until the wheels partially touch the ground.
– Tighten the hexagonal bolt 90° .
– Loosen the hexagonal bolt 90°.
– Raise the vehicle.
– Loosen the hexagonal bolt 90°.
– Apply brake (a second mechanic is required).
– Tighten the hexagonal bolt to 240 Nm.
– Lower the vehicle until the wheels partially touch the ground.
– Tighten the hexagonal bolt 90° .



Vehicles with dodecagonal nut
– Apply brake (a second mechanic is required).
A40-0132
– With the vehicle raised, tighten the dodecagonal nut to 300 Nm then loosen by one turn (360°).
– Lower the vehicle until the wheels partially touch the ground.
– Tighten dodecagonal nut to 50 Nm + 30°.
The dodecagonal nut can also be tightened as follows:
– Lower the vehicle until the wheels partially touch the ground.
– Tighten the dodecagonal nut using a torque of 300 Nm and loosen by one turn.
– Turn the nut to a torque of 50 Nm to begin.
E40-0015
– Mark the head of the nut with a line -Arrow A-.
– Mark a second line -arrow B- on the edge of the wheel hub, over the following notch on the dodecagonal nut.
– Continue to turn the dodecagonal nut until the marks coincide.



And the inner Bolts:

Fit the interior joint and tighten the bolts. Interior grooved head bolt M 8 x 18: 40 Nm. Interior grooved head bolt M 8 x 28: 40 Nm. Interior grooved head bolt M 8 x 48: 40 Nm. Interior grooved head bolt M 10 x 20: 80 Nm. Interior grooved head bolt M 10 x 48: 80 Nm.
