Default Torque spec for steering wheel ?

Does anyone know what the factory torque spec is for re-installing the steering wheel on a 96 WS6 T/A ? Also, do you put a drop of red or blue loc-tite when re-installing the wheel ?

Thanks for any help

Rob, always coming to the rescue. I don't know why I did not think to look at your website (Doh!).

Thanks

PS: Just wondering, do you have a walkthrough on removal of the steering wheel and proper dis-engagement of the airbag system ??

Sorry, no walkthrough. The air bag is deactivated by removing the fuse before disconnecting the wires (connection under the LH dash by the steering column). Avoid any static electriciity discharge to the bag or wires. Always set the wheel/air bag in the up position, so the bag can balloon if accidentally discharged.
