torque spec batwing to rear end bolts dana 44
Looking for the torque for the batwing onto a the dana 44 rearend. The shop manual didn't list that one. It did list the strut bracket bolt torque at 30 ft-lb for the 4 bolts that run through the batwing and rear end. Would it be the same for the other bolts?

just rounding this post out - 45 lb-ft
Decided to drop a note to Bair's Corvettes since they rebuilt the rear end. The recommendation was 45 lb-ft (going to 40 on the first round). Then as I was prepping to put the spring on I checked the torque spec for the bolts that hold the spring support plate and thread into the aluminum cover, so a very similar situation. They're also spec'd at 45 lb-ft. So, I think that will work - obviously with non-lubed bolts and threads.
