W204 4matic Front Differential Pinion Gear Bolt/Plate Torque Spec

Curious if anyone knows the torque spec for this?
I recently replaced my front driveshaft and this seal was completely shot. I put in a new one in and torqued everything up but it is still leaking. I assume I may have "crushed" the seal. the bolts at 130, for the plate at 120 as seen below.
Also, if anyone has the WIS for the seal replacement, it would be greatly appreciated. Some of the shops I've called seem to think it requires to pull the entire diff out of the car or something.

120


Thank you for any responses!

Heres what it shows for a W212. I dont see why it wouldnt be similar. Same transmission.

Says 55nm.

Thank you!
I will have to try and do this job again but thankfully it doesnt appear as if I have to drop the transmission to get to the differential now

I was just digging thru some papers and found the one for the W204. It is the same 55nm torque spec.

I have a habit of printing out every W204 WIS I come across and put it in a binder. But my printer isnt the best so its blurry half the time.
