But seriously, if you used a torque wrench on those, you'd be the first person in history to do so.

OK, just wanted to make sure a person could not overtighten them and "hold" the bearing too tight....

Actually, I pictured the backing plate to rear-end bolts initially.

But the bearing retainer bolts should be the same - tight. I even checked the '68 manual, and there's no torque spec. listed for them.
