Passat aluminium spindle help needed

[Perpetuus]

I am installing a set of aluminium front spindles from the B6 Passat this weekend.

Problem is, I can't find the torque spec for the shouldered nut (different than on the MkV) that fastens the outer tie-rod to the aluminium spindle.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Basically, I need the torque for #10 in this diagram. This is for the aluminium front spindle on the B6 Passat.

I second that.

I can look this up for you. I have the same parts to put on...

Edit- looks like tighten to 100 Nm (sorry I don't have the conversion), loosen half turn, retighten to 100 Nm.
Would be nice if you have all the torque specs, not sure I've seen them posted.

100nm = 74 lb-ft

Thanks. Looks about right, I also checked this site as well:

At first I was skeptical about the 100 Nm...seems high for such a small fastener.
