There is a hole at the back of the carrier where the bolt goes in. I've tried to put different things in, but nothing i have seems to fit. Is it a allenbolt. How many mm's? Please help me, as I am working on the car now.

It is the 10mm allen bolt. Must have been my mistake. Nothing seemed to fit until I used a bit more force. What a bloody job this can be. I did found a description on the internet where they spaek about other torque settings to what is communicated here on pistonheads. The 3 allen bolts should be fastened with 70-75 pounds and the central bolt with 170 pounds. Respectively 40-45 and 70-75 are communicated here.

Not a official Jeep document, I must say..... The differences are big though.

I've recently had all the hubs apart and replaced the bolts and the hub nut and the torque figures on here are fine.

Which brand/make of bearings did you choose. I hear people say that the cheaper ones come from China.
