I bought a set of half doors and had them painted. I took them apart, including the hinges, to have a thorough paint coverage. I have searched (google, here, and the service manual) for the torque I need to apply to the six bolts that go on each hinge and cannot find the answer. Does anyone have this information? I went with stainless steel bolts in case that makes a difference. Thank you.
 
No need for a torque wrench, just good and tight with a 3/8" drive ratchet wrench. I wouldn't use a 1/2" ratchet wrench because it'd be too easy to overtighten/strip out the bolt heads.
