Look a little harder...It's gotta be in there if you've got a SM.
My 04' SM has a couple of pages that lists all the torque specs.

i have a haynes service manual and its not in there, they tell you to look in chapter 1 but its not listed............my brain hurts.............

just get 'em tight , there is no real torque spec

I'd say about 35-40 pounds would be good if ya feel the need to fit a torque wrench on there

Larry, if it helps any, my 04' service manual says between 22-58 ft lbs which I'm sure it's ballpark for yours too. hth

I would just turn them till they are tight. They have orings on them and you dont want to destroy them. I would go closer to the 22 then the 58 if you ever want to remove them again.
