95Nm on RD04, mosts probably the same on RD07

Nope. Heating is not necessary at all, IMHO. Get some grease on the
sealings, the tube between the bearings inside the wheel hub (Radnabe)
and on the axis.
And make sure you keep that chain loose !! Always keep it on the
loose side, especially when using a strong one like the original.
What else? well, get the *good* version of the bearings, "2RS" I think
it is for the FAG/SKF bearings (closed and sealed on both sides).
They're not especially expensive, I used to buy the entire set of 5 bearings
for an RD04 for sFr 65.-
