Does anyone know what the torque spec is on the pump hub bolt and the long bushing bolts ? Are they supposed to have blue locktite on them ?

This might be of help...

And, yes, on the locktight. If you ever need to adjust the torque after applying lock tight, you may need to heat, to remove, clean and re-torque the bolts, though.

Thats exactly what i was going to look for if there was not an unusual spec. Thanks for the link. I appreciate it.

Oh and BTW, there is no way to get a torque wrench in there to torque the hub to spec. So i used the arm and hand " it feels right" wrench.
I used blue locktite on all of the bolts
The only way i could see you getting a torque wrench in there would
be to have the fender off and the dash out of the way. Unless theres a 1/4 drive
torque wrench that goes ft pounds. I don't have one and my 3/8 would not
even come close to getting in there
