Jay:

Bentley, 42.4, says:

"During repairs on vehicles prior to VIN 25ZBH119362, install new sleeves and axle nuts and torque nuts to 500 Nm (360 ft lb)"

They show a parts explosion that depicts an old and new spacer sleeve and axel nut. The new axle nut has 10 slots in the crown, the old one has 6 slots in the crown. They do not list a torque for the old. Guess they want you replacing it.
