August 21, 201312 yr stub axle bolt is 23-27 ft/lbs side retainer bolts are 6 - 8 ft/lbs did this job today and dug these up from the FSM after not seeing them posted here.
August 21, 201312 yr those are for new bolts,it is less for old bolts,especially the soft stub axle bolts.Jess(jbbvw) broke the head off a stub axle bolt while tightening it with a 1/4" ratchet while helping to fix a broken stub on my car at Evans Creek.

I watched this. He was not torquing hard on it at all. it just snapped off. Just the head, the shoulder stayed in and the stub stayed in......But it will be a bitch to get out gotta wait till it snaps.
August 22, 201312 yr Author that's no good. have you seen that before? i saw some "new and used" info about other parts but not those bolts in my 89 XT manual, guess i missed it.
August 22, 201312 yr the torque spec for old stub shaft bolts is tighten it until it snaps,then back it off 1/2 turn
