Good morning. Is there a torque value for the Blue ox tow bar bolts that have to be removed to install this kit?

Hi Bruce; according to Blue Ox there is is no torque spec for reinstalling the bolts when you install the Replacement Washer Kit # BLU46XR. You want the nuts as tight as possible so the ends are stiff but not so stiff that the triple lug can't move.
