Rear end girdle bearing cap torque?
 
Last year I installed a Ford Racing differential girdle on my 99 GT's rear end. I was just under the car and noticed that the bolts are all rusted already(and my car was in the garage all winter). I plan on removing the cover and putting back on with stainless hardware. Just one question: what do i torque the bolts that put pressure on the bearing caps? i forgot and don't have the directions. If I remember correctly, it wasn't too much...something like 10-20 ft lbs.

just snug, like spark plug tight. You're not adding any pressure to the caps, you're just keeping them from distorting as much under load.

10ft lbs is what you want on those bolts.
