Torque Specs for Brake Assembly and Brake Actuator

Question

Question:

Do you know what the torque spec is on the 4 mount bolts pressed into the brake backing plate? No instruction came with my order and I want to make sure I assemble them correctly to my trailer. I have the same question for the 2 bolts that attach the brake actuator to the front of the trailer. Thanks in advance for your advice.
