R60 Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

What are the torque specs for the four red arrow bolts in figure five on a R60/Countryman? They are not 16mm. They are 18mm. I have been googling and rarely find any info on R60s, thanks.

I don’t have torque information.

I would grab a repair manual. It will have the procedure, special tools and torque specs.

Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799.

Unfortunately, there isn't much DIY info out there for the R60 yet. Hopefully, it is a platform we will venture into in the future.

what manual do you recommend? Bentley and Haynes don't have manuals, and Chilton does not have torque specs for the bolts, and the repair info is very brief and weak.

Bentley does have manuals for 2002-2013 MINIs.

Chilton is mainly useful for keeping oil off the driveway...

Believe this user has an R60, which he is correct and Bentley does not have a manual for it. Unfortunately, there isn't much out there for the Countryman current.
