A few torque settings

[Jonny_doe]

Hello I have a 54 plate Passat 1.9 tdi Highline , and i need to change the cv boot this weekend .
Does anyone know the torque settings for the big 27mm bolt at the end of the hub, and the 7mm hex bolts that hold the brake calipers on (just in case i need to remove them ..)

Many thanks ..

Drive shaft bolt. (Use new bolt) M14...115Nm plus 180 degrees.
M16....190Nm plus 180 degrees.
Boot bolts...M8 40Nm, M10 77Nm

Well the replacemant cv boot kit turned up today and that also a 27mm bolt ..
So i gather i need to find the torques for this as it a bolt than the M14 or M16

Torque settings refer to thread size, not bolt head size. So M14 bolt will be 14mm across the diameter of the threaded bit.
