just snug them down with a 1/4" ratchet, its not that important to torque them

im pretty sure they are 9ft-lbs. or 7ft-lbs. just dont overtighten them too much. they will strip easy.

Yeah don't use a torque wrench on those, asking for problems.
Little 1/4" ratchet and going by feel is way safer.

The first time I split my cases I was using a torque wrench of the center case bolts like the manual said. 1 of the bolts snapped, and when I took the cases back apart to get the snapped one out, I noticed it stretched 3 other bolts.

I do anything that goes into alum now by hand, and only use the torque wrench for large things over 30ft lbs.

The only way I would torque them down would be with a beam-type torque wrench. The clicker just aren't accurate that low. With that said, just do like they said and use a 1/4" ratchet.
