torque spec for 96 Passat VR6 (rear brake)

[pro1911a1]

I am about to replace the rear brake disc/bearing and pads myself. What's the torque spec. for caliper guide pin bolts and rear hub nuts?

Thanks in advance.

Rear caliper mount bolt is 26 lb/ft & the carrier mount bolt is 48 lb/ft. If you're talking about the nut that holds the bearings it doesn't have a specific torque. While turning the rotor place a flat tip screwdriver between the thrust washer & hub. Tighten the nut until you cannot move the washer then back the nut off until light pressure can move the washer back & forth. Lock in place with the castellated cup & cotter pin.

Thanks very much. Are these torque specs apply to the front brake also?

Regards.
