T-56 pressure plate to flywheel bolt torque

I've read the torque to be anywhere from 22-52 ft/lbs? Someone have an answer? When taking apart the old PP/FW it felt more like 22 ft/lbs.

Re: T-56 pressure plate to flywheel bolt torque

gm recommends a weird way to torque them not sure the exact torque but after you get the spec u need to turn them a 1/3 more after the torque really weird i think i just torqued them to 40 but DON'T hold me to it
