Is the axle splines glued to the wheel hub?, 850,-97

Yep!

Ok, I guess 110 NM + and angle will be just fine! Did my left wheel bearing tonight. The axle came loose without effort. But speaking about torque... 45 NM and 60 degrees on those small torx bolts that hold the hub was quite scary. I thought I would crack the bolts.

And thank you abscate for looking up the puller size. I didn't need the puller this time but I think I'll keep it. It might come handy some day.

Off topic: The Kuwaitization (petro-money makes people lazy and unable to do things by them selves) of Norway is evident. Hardly anyone does any manual labor (like repairing ones cars). My neighbors think I'm odd working on my old Volvo by myself. Norwegians will soon need help by some polish migrant workers to change light bulbs in there own homes... I'm being an immigrant from Sweden and there, in Sweden, it's a lot more common to repair your car by yourself.

Left side came out without effort. Right side was corroded and had some white residue on it (metal adhesive?) . I had good use of the puller and a torch.
