Hi-

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the pressure relief valve bolt on a Kubota BX? I think it's between 22 and 30 ft-lbs, but looking for confirmation or if wrong, the correct info.

Thanks!

Does this bolt have a seal on it?
If so then there is no torque setting, just tighten till snug and sealed.

Yes, the bolt does have a seal. I won't worry then about torquing the bolt. So far it's been snugged up a grunt and a half.
