You will need a torque wrench that will go up to 210Nm for the hub nuts though. I bought one years ago on Ebay from a lorry fitter who had retired. Cheap enough but I did have to recalibrate it.

It’s worth noting that in some cases when you remove the hub part of the bearing can seize to the hub spigot. I personally wouldn’t strip to check just for the sake of it and only if there’s an issue but I’m maybe just unlucky
