Post by: Sharpshooter on December 21, 2005, 20:06:38: Usually about 15 ftlb's
then 90 degrees
and another 90 degrees.

But some may say different.

Post by: Andy the Landy on December 21, 2005, 22:44:59: 90lb.ft for the 1/2in. UNF bolts (head bolts)

18lb.ft for the 5/16in. UNF bolts (rocker shaft)

Make sure the sequence is correct and dont put all the pressure on at once :wink:
