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.

 

what is that in ft lbs my torq wrench only goes in ft lbs also this is a 2001 a6 quattro is that the m16? i got the new bolt just want to get it write so when shes driving off the rd it dosent break

 

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.
