Thanks.

I had to replace an outer CV boot last weekend and used the same value (75 ft-lb) that was listed in the manual, along with blue loctite. When George mentioned the different torque in the "Installing the One Ton Front End Version II" document - I looked that up and it says "55-58"!

So - I'm glad that Jim mentioned the 75 ft-lb value (that I used). I probably should check the torque on the driver side as well - I need to replace the partially split soft boot on that side as well... The passenger side boot was essentially completely missing!

Also - Manny mentioned that I could re-use the bolts, since they this was only the second time they had been torqued. That's what I did - so hopefully they will be OK!

BTW - my bolts required a 3/8" 12 point socket (not the 7/16" that Ken mentioned).
