Drive flange stud torque setting?

[etarasoff]

Actually, I'm doing the rear so it's the studs for the inner axle itself, but it's the same basic 6 studs that would go for the drive flange on the front --- the ones that get the little cone washers and nuts.

Anyhow, I ordered new ones because they're cheap and why not...but I can't seem to find anything about how tight they're supposed to be. Do they have a torque setting or is it just bottom 'em out and nice-and-tight? Going to do the latter with some blue loctite unless someone steps forward and gives me a torque setting for them.

Thanks

I'm reading 25 ft lb. from FSM. Edit...search for "rear axle cheat sheet". If it's the 6 nuts with cone and plate washers on the outermost section...it does read 25 lbs.

26ft lb on the flange nuts. The ones in front of the cone washers.

Thanks for replies so far. To clarify, I'm talking about the studs themselves, not the nuts in front of the cone washers. Thanks

I didn't know you could/should torque those studs? Thought you just run them in til the threads or non-threaded part bottoms out.

Just snug the studs up, don't need or want them really tight.
