R60 Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Assmbly - SOLVED

I could use a little help. I have been unable to find the torque specs for the four bolts that hold the rear wheel bearing hub assembly. The hex bolt head size, in socket measurements, is 18mm. These are the four bolts that hold the complete wheel bearing assembly to the car. I made the mistake of thinking the rear caliper bracket was held on like the front and just went to town taking bolts off. well, oops. So now I have two of the four bolts I need to re-torque.


thanks

I'm aware this is an ancient thread, but in case anyone stumbles across this thread, official torques and parts from Mini TIS:
Hub to trailing arm: 100 Nm
(Torque crosswise like an X pattern)
Axle nut to hub: 182 Nm
And the bolts are not M10x35. They are M12x1.5x60 grade 10.9 with factory red loctite
