Torque wrench figure??

Hi

Does anyone have the torque figure for the 5x Bolts that hold the rear hub to the trailing arm? I am changing mine tomorrow!
Thanks

I don't know what the figure is but a good way is to use a dial type torque wrench when you take it apart in order to measure the torque.

BTW, I did call the dealer and they stated that they do not replace but rather re-use the bolts. Total cost was $110 with 2-day shipping and about an hour+ of my time.

how to:
- jack up car and place on jack stands
- remove wheel
- remove caliper, pads, and rotor (see excellent how-to on this site)
- use wire or bungy cord to support caliper
- crawl under car and remove ABS sensor from back of hub. There is a plastic clip that you remove first. Then use a small flat blade screw driver to gently pry out the sensor.
- rotate the hub so that the large holes line up with the 5 bolts
- Use an 8mm socket on an extension (I used a 6") to remove the bolts and the hub.
- Installation is the reverse. Torque bolts to 60 Nm.
- Hardest part for me was getting the ABS sensor all the way back into the hub, its a tight fit.
- Will need to retract caliper piston to get caliper and pads back on per the how-to, use the right tool (I used the rental brake kit from Advance that included an 8mm socket).

So 60 Nm looks like the value
