Default Tow hook bolts torque?

I got me some tow hooks recently. I installed them and torqued 'em down to 25ft-lbs. But I gotta thing that those bolts use more torque than that. Can anyone with a service manual do me a favor and see what the torque values are for the tow hooks on a nbs silverado?

Thanks, Keith H.

This ain't what you're looking for, but I'd take a 1/2" impact gun and let it eat.

Just hit them with an impact but if you don't have an impact 63 ft-lbs is the recommended torque.

No air tools here at school. Otherwise, I'd get in there with an air ratchet and go to town. But since I do have a torque wrench, I'll go with the 63 ft-lbs.

Thanks guys.
