Default Torque specs

Does anybody know the torque specs for the 4 nuts that hold the rear cradle up (the transaxle cradle)?

Thanks.

Just be careful some of the specs on that sheet have been revised. The front and rear suspension are incorrect. If you need them I will have to look them up for you!
