12 bolt posi ?

Put the rear axles back in last night and I don't have a spec for what to torque the bolt for the retaining pin?

Does anybody know how much torque it should get?
5# ~ 10# ~ 15#? I can't imagine it's a whole lot.......

Re: 12 bolt posi ?

If its 1/4-20 then about 9 ft lbs.
If its 5/16-18 then about 14 ft lbs.
You have to convert it to inch lbs....so i would guess that you multiply by 12?
I dont know for sure.
