Torque Specs for RSB mounts and endlink bolts

Hi guys, I just did a search but couldnt find the torque spec for both the RSB mounts and endlink bolts. Can someone help me find it if you have the TSX Helms Manual? Thanks I'm getting my Progress RSB installed tonight, can't wait to drive it after installation

Keep it mind it won't be easy to use a torque wrench over the hex key. Just use the torque specs as reference and hand tight the nuts.

Yeah, you'd need a special box end that fits onto a socket wrench to do torque these. I hand tightened mine as well.

Not every bolt or nut requires the precision of a torque wrench, and sometimes it's not possible to use one. Therefore, you have to rely on your experience to hand torque when neccessary. After awhile, you will develop a sense of "torque reference" during hand tightening. In the mean time, just cut down the spinach in your diet.
