Need Torque Specs For 14-bolt Axles

[Mighty HD]

07 classic sierra 2500hd, 4.10's 10.5" rear 14 bolt full float. Had to pull the axles to balance the tires on the truck. Need to know the torque specs.

 

I'm pretty sure they're the same for 04-07classic.

 

Thanks

I just gotta ask: Why did you have to pull the axles just to balance the wheels?

Thanks guys.

 

 

When I had the tires trued, they balance them on the vehicle. They use a strobe light and a device that spins the tire up. Since I have a G80, it would either explode, or xxxxxxxx? So I suggested to pull the axles to be able to spin it up....
