Tight

I know that's not the answer you are looking for though...

I bet 99.9% of guys that have them off hit em with an impact to tighten them. When you are working flat rate time is money. They can't be that much anyway... It would probably suprise you. They aren't big bolts. I would be suprised if the spec is more than like 120 ftlbs. If you have a long ratchet tighten them up as tight as you can and that should be ok....

Haha ya true, but im **** with my own car. When im in the shop its different lol. I contacted haynes and within 5 minutes got an email response. Strange that they forgot it in the manual?!? But its 78ft lbs for main bolts, and 47ft lbs for the smaller two. (i went to 80 anyway)
