U joint driveshaft retainer torque verification

Hi,
My oem manual says 75 foot pounds for u joint retainer bolts..no way must be misprint and see one post about it..there also seems to be a range of recommendations from 115 nch pounds to 30 foot pounds...
i went 15 foot pounds and a hair extra..will that be ok?
I ordered some part labels for driveshaft like i did on half shafts..if anyone wants some let me know i had to get 36..
@GTR1999 torch out u joints tutorial worked great!
thank you

Half shaft labels ..i am getting driveshaft labels too 3921675 was the number i had

7/16 bolts 15 plus foot pounds

Looked in the 69 manual.
70 ft/lbs is the half shaft to the axle spindle.
U joint caps are 15 ft/lbs.
