i did have the torque specs , but couldn't get anything in there other than a spanner.
i just tightened them as best i could with it.

thanks for the info, just thought while it was out of car that would torque the bolts and refill before putting back up in car.

Rear cover bolts are 50 ft/lbs,be careful when you mount the rear spring. Tighten the 4 carrier bolts to the cover to maybe 40 ft/lbs then torque them with the weight of the car on the ground so you don't snap off a cover ear.
