Hey NASER NASER,

The spec i have here is for an m10 bolt for XC90 vehicles.

Check the threads on your axle bolt are 10mm in diameter.

It calls for 35NM followed by a further 120 degrees.

You will need a torque angle gauge to torque this correctly or a torque wrench with the angle function.

You should replace the bolt with a new bolt as all angle tightened bolts have to be replaced they cannot be reused.
