Default Rear wheel bearings on FWD

I have been searching the forums, but all I see is info for Quatros. I have just replaced the rear bearings on my 2000 A6 FWD, which comes as a bolt on assembly, with 5 x 8mm bolts that hold it on. Does anybody know the torque specs for these bolts? Thanks in advance

I would also use blue if not red loctite. It looks like those bolts are reusable unless your rear bearing kit came with new bolts. I wouldn't worry too much about the next guy having to get those bolts out. Do NOT use antiseize on them!

Did you get a new ABS sensor per the note on the diagram?
Personally, I don't see why a new one is required if you can get the old one out, but there it is...
