  Just got back in to town on Friday and now got to
all the e-mails.

  Did not see where you received an answer to your
question.  Not sure if you are talking about the nuts
that mount the hub to the brake backing plate that
mounts to the trailing arm or not.  If this is what
you are asking then the manual I have states 14-16
lb-ft.  These studs are in the aluminum housing and
strip easily.

  The brackets that mount the arms to the frame are
45-50 lb-ft and the bolts thru the bracket are 28-30
lb-ft.

  Hope this answers your question if not give me a
yell with more specifics.
