78, removed the dust shield from the from spindle assembly. I've looked in the assembly and service manual and can not find the tq speciation’s for the 3 bolts which secure the shield. Does anyone know the tq?

Thanks Bill

If you can not find a torque spec you look at the head of the bolt to determine it's grade, the size of the bolt and the thread pitch. You then go to a chart that will give you that information.

Here's a handy one. http://www.futek.com/boltcalc.aspx

Probably not much; they're not structural members. What did the bolts feel like when you took them out?
