Torque spec 2006 differential cover bolts

I am replacing a leaking axle seal and will probably replace the cover seal as well just to be sure no leaks. What is the torque spec for the Differential Cover bolts (I think there are 9 or 10). Thanks...

I double checked my shop manual and found a spec of 22 ft-lbs for the "differential reinforcement bolts".....is that what they call the bolts that connect the differential cover to the differential housing? Just checking to make sure we're talking about the same bolts. If we are, makes one wonder why they just can't describe the bolts more "directly" than "reinforcement bolts"......Thanks, again.....
