Torque Specs For Cross Member Bars?

[Lexington]

Hi All

I had to remove my Cat Shield to change my transmission fluid. I went to put it back on but I couldn’t find the torque spec for the original bolt for the cross member bar (I’m not sure if that’s the correct name). There is a photo of in the link below on Step 3.

The Cat Shield replaces one of the two original bolts with a star M8 screw as a deterrence from someone trying to remove the Cat Shield. The manual gives the torque specs for that but not for the original bolt.

I’ve tried searching for it but found nothing for the cross member bar so I’m not sure if that’s the right name but it what Cat Shield calls it. If anyone know the torque specs please let me know. Thanks.

Just a moment...

Sorry about posting twice. I thought this first one didn’t go through. How do you delete a thread?

Thanks

Almost always the torque value of any bolt is determined by the size and thread of the bolt, why aren't you using the torque value posted in the instructions of the Cat Shield??

Also here's a torque chart based on size and thread type.
