Dually front rotor to hub bolt torque?

I had to get new rotors for my Front Disc brakes. Does anyone know what the torque value is when tightening the 8 bolts of the rotor to the hub? I can't find it in the FSM.

The,bolt torque can be determined by the size of,the bolt and grade.

I would guess if its a 7/16 to 1/2 that its in the 80 ft lbs range. Torque sequence and thread locker are more critical, imo

They are Grade 5 9/16" bolts so according to the chart you provided they should be around 100 ft lb.

Thanks a bunch!

Well, I AM trying to lose weight. To celebrate the brakes being done we went to Sonic and each had foot-long chili cheese dogs and an Oreo/Butterfinger blast. So now I have to diet for another week to make up.
