I have to change my 9" center to housing gasket and I can't remember the torque spec for the center-to-housing studs/nuts. I know some of the nuts will not be accessable with a socket, but the majority of them I will be able to put the torque wrench on.
Thanks for any advice.

i just use my DeWalt impact, I have heard 30ft lbs but I have done hundreds of 9 inch installs and never torqued a nut or had leaks... Felp pro 2302 gasket and some good nylon lock nuts You dont have to go crazy tight esp if they arent ARP studs....

Thanks. I think I may have over torqued one or two last time and that has caused this leak.

45-50 ft-lbs is what Scott at DLS told me to do. Doesn't leak, but it hasn't been driven yet

50 ft lbs seems a little high for a 3/8 stud especially if there the crappy Moser ones
