Hey Mark, there is no torque specs for those puck bolts on the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300.
You're just going to need to loosen that nut on the bolt enough to where you can operate the locking handle. It shouldn't be too tight or loose, just enough for it to lock the bolt securely into the bed pucks.
You can see this being demonstrated at the 5:30 mark in the video I've attached.
If you're referring to the arm bolts, then those would need to be tightened to 110 ft. lbs.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Hey Mark, how did things go tightening the bolts on your B&W Companion hitch? Were you able to get the locking handle adjusted so it secures smoothly in the bed pucks? Your update could make it easier for others working with the same setup.
