Replaced my front left axle last night as the outer boot had completely torn away.
I searched the forum, and Dave had sent a diagram showing the outer bolt at the wheel hub to be torqued to 148 ft-lbs.
I am needing the torque spec for the axle flange to transmission.
There are 6 hex head type bolts at this joint.
TIA

That big bolt (which naturally you bought new because it is a stretch to yield/one-time use bolt) is 148 lb-ft PLUS 90 degrees (the stretch). You can divide the 90 degrees into two 45's (all this final torquing is with the car on the ground BTW)).

As for the six small triple square head bolts that hold the inner CV joint to the transmission drive flange, they are N 90668201, M10 x 48. Their proper torque is 80 Nm or 59 lb-ft (no extra stretch required for them).

Make sure you stretch that large bolt after you hit the 148 lb-ft.

Gotta get a hub new bolt, but old one will go on short term.
