Hi could any one tell me to what torque I tighten the front hub assembly nut to. Thanks

I don't think there is a specific torque. Just tighten it up to take out any play and so that you can get the split pin in. It's OK to go tighter to get the pin to line up as it's not a taper bearing.

No torque specified in the Manual -just pull them up tight and pop the split pin in! Remember LH thread on the Left side of the car.
