Hi fellow FJ'ers.

Anyone know what the tightening torque for the fork damper or "CYLINDER, FRTFRK FRONT FORK"  part no 18 bolt  for a 91 fj should be?

Cant find it in my stupid manual  :dash2:
Its holding me up from installing my beaut RPM fork valves!


Thanks everyone  :drinks:

Air impact gun with 90 PSI seems to work...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
