1998 S70 Torque Setting for Front Wheel hub

I am just replacing a front wheel hub that had play but didn't make any noise! I can't find the torque setting for the four bolts that hold the hub on anywhere. What should it be?? Also would you use threadlocker if the torque is set correctly? There was no thread locked on the bolts i took out and they were quite snug. Thanks

For my 1999 Alldata reports 48 FT lbs torque plus 60 degrees angle tightening.

No Loctite is recommended. This is for the four bolts inboard holding on the wheel bearing hub.

My manual says 33 ft lbs + 60°.
