Torque for axle banjo and torque tube bolts

[Colin Reed]

HI Dennis,
               The yield strength is what you need to look at as this is when you get permanent deformation  ( ie stretch )
                A2-70  is 304 s/s   65000ft lbs
                Grade 5              90000ft lbs
              As you will see about 2/3  of a grade 5 bolt
              also the recommendations on previous posts as to not using s/s still apply

Hope that helps to Clarify things
