Hi all--

Does anyone happen to have torque specs for the nuts that hold in the 3rd member, and the nuts that secure the axle retaining flanges?

If none is readily available, could I just follow a dry torque spec for a fine-thread 3/8" bolt? 

Also, should I use any washers (lock/hardened flat. etc)?

Thanks in advance!
Dave

Thanks for the info.  Will hopefully be completing the assembly of my rear this evening.
