    If you'd mentioned the bolt Part Number it would have been easier to find....... I thought I had found it but no. If you have the Part Number from the illustration you posted above please advise what it is.

    There is no special procedure (torque spec or Loctite) called out for installation of that particular bolt. So the tightening torque is just the general one for an M12 bolt, 75 ± 15 lb ft.
