Cupra r driveshaft torque setting for hex bolt answered

[19jeff89]

Hi im new on here, but i have done the usual searching for a few hours but cant find a definate answer on torque setting

I have a 2004 Cupra r bam engine 02m gearbox im changing the nearside driveshaft i think im right in saying the bolts to the gearbox are 10nm (nipped up) then 70nm but cant find a proper answer for the hub bolt hex not 12 point.

if anyone knows of the top of there head would be muchly apreciated

thanks

rang seat today and got torque setting

use new bolt best to pop center cap out of wheel and put wheel on
tighten to 240 nm of the floor with 2nd person with foot on brake
lower car so wheel is on the floor but not all the way
tighten a further 90 degrees
slacken bolt 90 degrees
lift car back up so wheel is of the floor
slacken a further 90 degrees
tighten again at 240nm
lower the car so wheel is on the floor but not all the way
finally tighten 90 degrees

this procedure is because its a stretch bolt
wheels are 120nm also
