Actually, I believe that if you read the manual properly, the 50 is DRY 
and the 75 is lubed. That said, I always use 75 and RED (high 
strength) loctite. Haven't had one come loose (yet).

The clutch uses pretty small bolts, I think they're either 5/16" or 3/8". 
In either case, the torque numbers are correct in the book for the size of 
fastener.
