Never bothered torqueing them in 40 yrs, just nice and tight will do, as access not best just tighten up and do a pull up on the spanner, assuming your are doing it with truck on the ground not on a lift.

Like htb2 says tweak them up good and tight... If you try the figure you quoted, you will strip the threads Rolling Eyes ... There are plenty of reference charts available online which advise on maximum values. Have fun Thumbs Up Cheers

I did find the torque settings somewhere (can't remember where) when I did my TD5 many years ago and as previous posters suggest I did strip the threads on one of the bolts before reaching the required torque figure!!

Funnily enough the photo at the begging of the thread is mine (prior to stripping threads!!!). In the end I just used the best of the old ones as it was a weekend and I could not get a replacement.
