brake bleeder screw torque specification?

Maybe it's not that critical, but I was wondering what the torque specification was for tightening the bleeder screws.

thanks in advance.

They should be tightened to 'snug +/- a tug' I'm not sure about the metric conversion.

Like the comment on brake pads; when they wear out that's how long they last. If it's broke off you over tightend it?

I worry more on the Wilwoods that folks tend to over tighten the small little 1/4-28 nipple and snap it off. Luckily you have the whole brass fitting you can replace when that happens. Until you snap IT off...seen it done.
