Who can tell me how tight they should be?

Also whats a good workshop book that contains this info?


Oh and pro tip; dont remove the manifold like the books says. Thank me later
Yup, the factory service manual.

The inner CV joint to output flange tightening torque values are as follows:

M8....29 ft/lbs (39 Newton Meters)

M10...60 ft/lbs (81 Newton Meters)

Use blue (medium strength) Loctite.
