Never put anti seize on those bolts...
OK. Sure hope I can get them off again. I dont see torque settings for those hex bolts. Any advice ? Im not seeing it:

antiseize NO !
torque, 75 to 80 N.m, very difficult to check considering the position and operationg area
an advice: use new bolts, rated 12.9 if possible, at least 10.9

Is that 75-80 N*m value listed somewhere specific to this part ? I only ask because that is a very high value, almost as high as the wheel nuts.
I was able to apply about 75 N*m to my CV bolts before they snapped. It's true that I don't know how old those bolts were or what they have been through, but 75 N*m just seems really high.
I did go buy new bolts today (12.9).

Wheel nuts are 80 foot pounds....
Really ? Am I reading this wrong, again, ?

Grade 10.9 bolts.
M10 x 1.5 pitch.
Tighten to 75 Nm
That is only 55 ft lbs
You used 100 ft lbs to remove them and didn't break any - why would they snap with 1/2 that torque?
Follow deQuincys numbers- he is correct.

Just finished. To echo what others have written, this is an absolute mess of a job. Much dirtier than the front wheel bearings. I hope to never do this again.
thats the job you pay other people to do :]
