Default Steering shaft

I am putting on hooker LTs tomorrow and the steering shaft must be moved. When reassembling the shaft the instructions that came with the headers say to tighten to factory specs. My questions is the factory spec for the tightening the bolt that holds the shaft together? Thanks for the advice.

Torque spec = TIGHT! LOL You don't want that coming off. I would use some blue loctite on the lower bolt as well. I showed Justin how to take it off Saturday. It is not hard at all. Good luck with the install.

LOL I will torque it down then <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
I hope I do not have to actually remove the shaft from the car. From what I have gathered the bolt that holds it together can be removed and then I can just move the it out of the way. Think this will work?

TTT
Anyone know the exact torque specs? If not I am just going to use the max my torque wrench can do, 150.
