Haynes gives 185 Nm / 136 lbf ft for vans and models with Bendix brakes and
ABS, 200 Nm / 148 lbf ft for all others.

My 98/99 306 has the drums separate from the hubs.

I took the wheel and dustcap off last night to check the size of the nut
(32mm) and noticed it has a nut and circlip

do you just need to remove the nut to get the drum off, does the circlip
just hold the bearings in.
