Torque settings front driveshaft retaining nut

I've looked everywhere for this, but alas, I cannot find it. I found a site suggesting 177 f/lbs but it's only an m10 mild steel bolt, and I'm certain it would sheer at that torque.

Just to avoid confusion regarding "driveshaft" do you mean the (JLR terminology) driveshaft aka prop shaft or halfshaft ? Jules

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

I can guess a good tightness as a ex mechanic. If in doubt, clean up parts and use Locktite rather than shear off anything. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

From the manual it looks to me like the front half shafts use a bolt which tightens to 45Nm + 60 degrees whilst the rear half shafts use a nut tightened to 330Nm + 30 degrees and stake the nut. Big difference. Jules
