I'm getting ready to crawl under and remove the mangled skid plate this weekend - I hit a high curb from the side when I was parking. How many pounds of pressure do the bolts require?

Thanks,

Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
