B11 reaction rod bolt torque setting

[tris]

I've just replaced the frame end bush on my B11s' reaction rod and looked at the manual for the bolt torques to put the rod back

I think its 50Nm but the phraselogy in the manual is a bit "curious" and it felt like a hell of a lot more when I undid them (I know its been installed for a while now)

Can somebody confirm that 50 Nm is correct

Cheers

Looks like 50 Nm in the manual for the Norge.

  Correct! 10mm bolt 8.8 hardness= 50Nm

Is that what the 8.8 is on the head ? Did not know that.

 Yessir Huzo, standard carbon steel bolts rated tensiile strength are shown as 4.2 up to 12.9 for metric and in the US they are 3 up to 8+ Grade. Metrics put the numerical rating on the bolt head and here the have a system of lines on the head. Everything changes of course if you get into specialty fasteners like stainless, heat treated etc.
