I’ve looked but can’t find this anywhere. Could be my ineptitude, but does anyone know the torque value on wheel hub end caps?
If you are talking about the 5-bolt wheel bearing covers, then something like 6Nm or 4.5ft-lbs. That's roughly what a normal person can apply with a 1/4 inch drive screwdriver handle.

I was referencing the chrome screw-on type that’s on a /6, but I think your answer applies- hand tight. Thanks!
Those numbers were achieved using the engine oil pan retaining screw torque, but reduced ever so slightly because those 5 screws have less thread engagement than the sump screws.
Now you you know how to estimate other unstated torques.
