Front drive shaft torque specs for the 12 bolts
 
On the front drive shaft, Is it a good idea to use anything on the bolt threads on either end. It looked like the had thread sealer on them when I took them off.

We did not mark the shaft position when we removed the front drive shaft? Can this be an issue?

I was wondering thread sealer? Anti-seez? or maybe Blue removable Loctite? Blue Loctite seems to be the answer

Does anybody know the torque spec for the bolts?
