rearend girdle torque specs.

I just got my modified 8.8 in the mail today and i will be putting it in this weekend. i ordered a MAC rear end girdle for it and will be putting it on this weekend before it goes in. I am just wondering what do you torque the bearing support bolts down to. Is there a spec? or do you just tighten them down tight then jam them? Thanks

Might check with the manufacturer but my TA girdle specifies 5 ft/lbs. This is not much at all, and you really need a inch/lbs torque wrench to get it right.
My ft/lbs torque wrench starts at 20 so I had to buy the inch/lbs one.
