There seems to be a couple of videos made by Carraro but I cannot find any PDF's on the topic. Here are the videos. When I tried to post as a video it came up as an error so I will just post the YouTube llinks.
This video is for the Planetary area, bushings, seals, wheel bearings, axle joints.
This is where I got the 95 Nm or 70.01 Ft. / Lbs. with Loctite 270 (blue?) from. for the wheel bearings. Is this the end of the mystery?

I actually had 8 bolts on my ring gear while you had 6 I believe. I tested my bolts before I took them out and they were somewhere between 80-90 lbs. I did notice loctite on them when I took them out.

I ended up putting them back in at 80 lbs and adding blue loctite. Should be good to go!
