Default 2006 A3 FWD Wheel Bearing Torque specs

I'm sorry to have to post this but I have searched everywhere with mixed results. I'm replacing both the front and real wheel bearing assemblys on my A3. I do not have a Bentley and would like to know the torque specs for the front and rear. The job does not look difficult, but I know the correct torque is critical. Also and wrench sizes would be helpful. I read on another forum that the rear has a single '11 star' bolt, but then saw another DIY and it looked like a standard type of bolt (probably prior to 2006)

Thanks!!!

Perfect. I will try and post pics and steps. I traded my TT in DEC and love the A3. Although I miss the AWD, but still beats anything Japanese. No offense anyone

IIRC the rear references the same illustration for torque specs.

Getting ready to do the work. The real bolt requires a special Audi socket. I believe I located it here. Unless anyone has options I think I need to buy this:

There are also special bolts (4) for the front hub. I could not locate that on this site. Any suggestions? It looks similar to the rear (triple square)

Thanks!!!!
