Torque on landing gear motor

[Jims94vmx]

airing up new tires from 80 to 90 psi i noticed my rear electric jack was missing a bolt holding it to the leg. Had 1 on the other side. All others have 2. Just bought new bolt and want it snug but not strip it. Thanks

From web search:

"For a Lippert electric landing gear motor, the torque for the bolts attaching the motor bracket to the leg is 10 to 18 ft-lbs. Overtightening these bolts can damage the bracket and other components."

Thanks. Found bolts at local hardware and snuggled until motor wasn't loose.
