When setting the rear axle nut, tightening it with a good impact gun is very sufficient. The approximate torque is going to be around 250 ft lbs to gain adequate torque so it doesn't destroy the hub. Great little cars! Enjoy and if you need anything else, my father and grandfather were Porsche/Audi master techs and I have some experience with these so I can get some info quite easily! After tightening the nut, turn the wheel and make sure you do not have heavy drag from the bearing. Any drag should be from the normal action of the differential.
