Torque Specs needed for front axle bolts to tranny (6 of them) as well as hub bolt torque... PLEASE

I am doing the axle replacement this weekend and need to know how much to torque down the bolts back into the tranny and the wheel hub.

I understand that there is one hub bolt
3 inner boot shield bolts,
6 shaft to tranny bolts.

I need all the specs if possible.
thanks in advance.

Here's what Bentley has to say.....

Axle to tranny flange:
40Nm for M8 bolts
70Nm for M10 bolts

Axle (hub) bolt:
115nM + 1/2 turn for M14 bolts
190nM + 1/2 turn for M16 bolts
Always replace bolts

1 Lb-ft = 1.35 Nm
