Hi there I have asked this before but cant remember or find post. On the front bearing hub bolt there were three types

One hex which is old style and 200nm plus 180

One multipoint with ribs on face 70nm plus 180

One multipoint without ribs on face/smooth??? Is it 200nm plus 180 or same as ribbed???

I just found the old ones I removed and they were ribbed. I just realised after fitting new springs etc I got three new bolts with one as a spare and they were smooth not ribbed. Seems that they have dropped ribbed one and gone back to smooth

So I went with the 70nm plus 90 without realizing. Hasnt come loose yet but dont want to take the chance.

Hi there eventually found old post

Serrated face is 70nm plus 90deg

Smooth face is 200nm plus 180deg

Checked and they are still tight so will remove tomorrow when new bolts come and retorque/angle tighten. Reckon will need a fairly long bar extension to get 180deg.

Still using car but only short journey per day and will keep an eye on it.

Hope havent wrecked bearing but need to do front drive shafts at some point soon anyway. No noise from bearings as yet.
