I was hoping for you to see this thread tonight Beav, and thankfully you didn't miss it. I inverted all the black pics with Photoshop so that I could print them and write with a red marker all the torque specs next to the bolts you pointed out. I should now have a nice 'manual' with all the information I need for tomorrow's big job.
Since I am 'recycling' all the hardware, I am aware I should be torquing to the lowest number. I however am terrified with the thought of some bolt getting loose and ruining my life. Since the two torque values are often pretty far from each other (30 to 50% increase for new hardware) I am tempted to torque somewhat halfway between the two values, for instance
"Rear Stabilizer Link Nut .................... 10-19 = 15..." Am I being paranoid? Should I just follow the chart and not think about loosening parts?

Hey, my torque wrench is not that bad!
Paid 11 bucks for it (on Sale) but it looks like the real deal!
