Torque specs for Radix J-tube?

Should I get it "pretty tight", or does anyone have a torque spec for the J-tube? Thanks in advance

Pretty tight, IMO. There would be now way in hell you'd get a torque wrench in there if you are doing it with the engine in the truck

I could barely get my hands and tools in there.

The flange sealant that I have is pretty forgiving. The blower is sitting on the floor so I'll try 18 ft. lbs. I am sure anything close to that should be fine. Thanks for the help.

I plan to pull the blower off to install mine.

Does anyone know the correct spec or did 18ft lb work?

I went with 20 ft/lbs. I have no leaks, I am sure 18 would be fine also!
