Great find! Boy... there seems to be alot of variations out there especially in the torque spec. Everything from 65 to 90/100ft lbs and now locktite. I don't think i will use locktite on them. With that many ft lbs. i don't possibly see how the studs could back themselves out of the hole. The spec sheet that came with said 65ft lbs with moly and 80lbs with 30 weight. I'm gonna gonna go 10 over spec at 75lbs and retorque to about 90 after a few hundred miles of easy driving. More than one person has suggested that.
