    When there's no specified torque values for a specific nut/bolt, then go with the generic values they list.

    eg. if the bolts are M8, then use 25Nm, if M10, then use 45Nm.
    If 3/8 UNC/F, then use 39Nm.

    Do you have RAVE?
    Assuming so, the at the end of the the specified torque values, they have a list for nuts/bolts .. ie. the generic section.
    The generic section is noted in a few sections, up in the general torque values for the entire manual, and also at the end of the suspension sections.

    170-180Nm for the 4 that mount the taper to the axle if you have that version

    the look up table I have for the rear suspension has a heap of numbers for various sizes in the rear suspension so a pick of exactly which bolts, size and thread would be useful to make sure I've given you the right spec.

    they should be a 12 point head and about 5/8th shank for that value.

    same torque, the 10.9 M12's are the same (near enough) yield as the older 5/8th bolts.


    your average cheap 1/2 inch torque wrench will top at about 150Nm so use max figure and loctite 242.
