What are these 3 bolts torqued up to? 

I read 220nm on here for the rear, but surely that's not right???

 

I'm seeing all sorts of figures thrown about for the astra g, but can't find anything for the VX

90Nm according to TIS (assuming you're using the correct hex bolts)

TIS says 90Nm and a bit of mid strength threadlock wouldn't do any harm. If you have the large bolt that goes through the splined centre of the bearing where the drive shaft would go, be sure to install it on the new bearing - tightened to 45Nm.

Don't know. Driveshaft nut is somewhere up in that region. Maybe that's only applicable if you're actually assembling the whole hub itself and pressing the bearing into the hub.

210 is for the big central 'driveshaft' Nylock (same for the castle nut on the rear driveshafts) 90 is for the 3 bolts you are asking about earlier.

What's the general consensus for refitting the central nut and bolt? The late model NAs and Turbos don't have them.
