I've been reading up on this stuff for my D1 too .. will end up doing a major suspension overhaul next year .. so just looking at as much info as I can before I get into it all.
But it seems they use the same values on the Defender as on the D1(at least .. dunno about RRCs and other stuff).
Large front nut needs 176Nm
The rear axle bolt can vary.
Going by RAVE:
if M16, requires 180Nm .. but
if 5/8 UNF/UNC then 136Nm
I dare say the bolt should be an M16(24mm head), but if it fits a 15/16" socket better it could be 5/8 bolt.
The problem with LR is.. who knows!? they mix'n'match metric and AF fastener sizes with randomly irregular abandon!
