Question TORQUE trailing arm

Beav,

Yes, I learned from you recently that the lower figure is for used nut/bolt!

However, is 80 ft-lbs OK, like the shop manual says (80-101) or is it 101(-130) like I gleaned from a couple threads here? I'm talking about the rear trailing arm bolt (trailing arm to knuckle).

PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANKS!

P.S. Just viewed your PHOTO site, THANKS! I guess I used the right spec (80)! But, why did I have to use over 200 ft-lbs (est.) to gradually get that nut loose (on both sides)? THANKS AGAIN!

BTW: My HubTamer kit came with two -306 plates, but no -309 plate. Do you think I should contact the seller (eBay) to try to swap my -306 for a -309 (not sure if they have more parts OR kits?) [IF I STILL HAVE SELLER OR SHIPPER INFO?]
