hi guys i took off my steering knuckel on the passinger side and had the new bearing installed and bolted all the ball joints up again and now i have to install the new hub bolt to the hub how tight do i make it or what are the steps i take to tighten it, i dont want to crush the bearing but i know that on my mini you make it tighter than S##T i know hubs are a little different than just niormal bearings on older cars but i just want to be safe here




thanks for any info !!!!!

Those are single use bolts, not to be reused. The torque for the M14 is 115 Nm plus 180° turn, M16 is 190 Nm plus 180° turn.

My A6 came with an Allen head bolt, the replacement was an M16. 190 Nm is 140 Lb/ft. Use a long breaker bar with a short impact socket and a 2 inch 2 ft long pipe to get the extra 180 on the bolt.
