Hi, Norm This may be of value: https://www.logsa.army.mil/WEB-PAGE/2000/572/572-56-59.pdf You want to try to determine what kind of bolt you are looking at. Marks on the head of the bolt often will tell you what kind (Grade 2, 5, 8, etc) it is. The page will help you identify the type and then it has a table of recommended torques. I would guess that they are at least Grade 5 on your trailer, but best to confirm.

Anyone know how hard to tighten these things? Norm _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
