I’m looking through Bentley and Haynes and I can’t find it! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can't find it in ISTA either. Since it is a M8 bolt I don't expect the torque to be higher than 25-30 ft-lbs

I guess you can use the generalized torque spec from ISTA:

Thanks. Yep I can’t find it anywhere and I’ve probably been to 100 sites/threads/etc. Fastenal states 26.9 foot-pounds for a dry 10.9 grade. These have red thread locker and I know it’s suggested to drop to say 80% dry spec, I think I’ll go all the way with it at an even 27.

(To convert newton-meters to foot-pounds, simply multiply your figure by 0.7376)
