Haynes (light blue) says 65 ft lb (88 Nm) and the official Rover manual says 90Nm.

I've never done them quite that high because it's very hard to improvise something to hold the sprocket rigid while torquing the nut - and I don't like the idea of locking the crank and putting the torque down the chain.

Just my opinion, the official figure is as above.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???
