I have not checked the torque on these bolts as its not critical. These bol ts are in double shear and do not need much torque to do their job. In gene ral torque is critical in bolts that see considerable tension loading. I check the torque seal, number of exposed threads, and for any annomalies.

I was referring to the torque that would actually tighten the nut, not that to just overcome the nylock friction.
