The bolts that hold the turret to the Pinbox on the Reese Sidewinder part # ST400-SW19K should be set according to the instructions initially to 150 ft/lb using a crossing pattern 2-3 times then backed off and tightened down to 45 ft/lb. At that point it is set per the factory instructions. These are linked below if you need to check them out.
