Torque specs for IRS axle change

[Matt P]

Hi Yall,

Im changing an axle this weekend. I ordered a Ford service manual, but it hasnt come in yet. The Chiltons and Haynes dont have the info on the IRS. Can some one please let me know the torque specs on the suspension parts I will be taking apart to do the swap? Thanks!
