They all clicked at 32 ft-lbs and turned at 33 ft-lbs so the rear bolts are 32 ft-lbs.


You could also buy a digital torque reader or analog torque wrench to measure it, but i wasn't going to spend that money.
That's in the ballpark of what I had posted of 40 lbs. On the chart I linked. 32 ftlbs is for a lubed torque spec, and 40 ftlbs is for a dry torque spec for the same bolt. The factory uses a wet spec because of them using a thread locker of some kind.

The bolts are a 8.8, or a 9.8 class.
