This is too easy. You can do atleast 5 minutes of searching and you can come up with your answer. I can understand if youre new and all but itll feel better if you find out for yourself! Heres the link to the stickies which is also on the main page. This will include a lot of information like torque specs, etc. Goodluck.

When I reused my stock ones, I followed Dee's (boost_boy) advice and set my torque wrench to 85ft/lbs. Has held for almost exactly a year with no issues.

well you need to find the tightening sequence but it's basically 29Nm, then 103Nm, then fully loosen, then 29Nm, then 103Nm
