im looking for a torque # for the bleed valves or at least a range of what you guys find works. the haynes manual doesn't say anything. it might seem rather silly to ask but i recently stripped 2 bleed valves on another vehicles so id rather be safe.

thanks

The torque should be somewhere around 50 inlb.
So aprox 4 ftlb.

Or quarter turn past tight. Lol.
