Default Spindle Assembly Torque?

My assembly manual indicates that the details on the spindle assembly are found on Sheet A3, Page F136. There is no depiction of the attachment of the steering arm, dust shield, nor the caliper bracket to the spindle on that page or other locations I scanned through.

Anyone have the torque settings for those three bolts?

Thanks.

Default Torque settings

Vogie: If you have a fax number I can send you a copy of torque specifications by Van Steel. It is on page 9 of their catalog. They may have a listing on their website. PM me your fax number. Jerry

I think I have their catalog here. If not, I'll call Danny. I have a project in their shop I can check on so the call will serve two purposes. Thanks much for the information and lead.
