Torque Spec for Sasquatch Rash Ring/ Bead Lock Bolts?

[Aonarch]

Does anyone have the torque spec for the T45 torx bolts for the rings?

Also looking for this, just called the local dealer who said they don't have it either.

*sigh*

Saving me again, Flip?
Thanks!

Dealership parts guy put me on with a service advisor, who also had no idea...both of them told me check the forums, second guy told me "oh, call Ford then I guess". So I called Ford and they ALSO didn't have it.

Thanks Flip. I was wondering this too. I used anti-seize on the bolts and torqued them to 15lbs. which would be @70% of the torque specs. I think that is pretty spot on with anti-seize. I didn't know the specs and had to feel around what I thought was sufficient. With anti-seize the bolts seem they would strip out pretty easily and that would explain the low torque specs. I used anti-seize because each bolt felt ready to seize at any time until they were about 3/4 of the way out. I was very nervous. You need to be equally careful putting them back on as they seem like they would be very easy to cross thread. Do as much by hand as you can before using tools.

Thank you Flip!

Are the bolts on the ring certainly T45 (regular torx)? I’ve read that torx plus is also found on the Bronco (e.g. modular bumper) so just confirming that these are actually T45 and not TP45? Thank you!

Ring boits are torx plus.
i had no trouble getting off (used ratchet to break loose) or on. Though they don’t appear to be high quality bolts.
