I am after the proper torque settings for the two bolts holding the front calipers to the hub assembly.

I am also after the settings for the five recessed bolts (not wheel studs) that hold the front disk to the wheel hub.

Also the procedure and settings for the central castellated wheel / bearing nut and setting the end float. Never done that previously! Don't want to get it wrong.

Not sure about the torque settings for the calpers or disks onto the hubs but tight with a little thread lock, as for the wheel bearing you wind it up by hand till it feels tight then a quater turn, test on the road then recheck for wheel movement.
When i had my disks on a windy gun fitted them back up so proberly about 80lbs/inch

As Jeff says. With a bit of practice, you will feel when it's just too tight because there is slight resistance when turning the hub. You want no resistance at all.
