Thanks Jim. Just got to figure out how to torque the four nuts with a spanner. Only have a torque wrench that is used with sockets. I guess you know it is not possible to use sockets, without turning the pin at the same time. 
needs some thought. . . .

The force required is equivalent to a third of that for a wheel nut. So to give you an idea, loosen a wheel nut and tighten it to 42Nm to give you an idea of how much force you need to exert on the spanner.

Don't forget to retighten the wheel nut.
