Eaz Lift R3 ReCurve hook up hanger bolt torque

[Bendmac]

Installing new Eaz Lift R3 ReCurve WDH on new Jayco 24 RBS trailer...while "poop sheet" lists a torque value for the bolts to mount the ball on the shank, nothing listed for the hook up hangers that go on the trailer tongue other than the 32" distance measurement from the center of the coupler ball socket.

Naturally, Camco already closed for weekend, so no joy there. Hanger bolts are 1/2-13 x 3-3/4" bolts...looks like "standard" torque for a 1/2" bolt ranges from 75# for a grade 5 to 107# for a grade 8...

Any suggestions, or just within that range?

Thanks!

I just tightened as tight as I could get with a 3/8" racket about 10" long.

I found an instruction manual for Curt WDH.
It has 1/2" bolts tightened to 75 ftlbs

"Tighten 1/2" head attachment bolts to 75 ft. lbs. torque.
Failure to tighten bolts may result in fastener loss or failure."
