I've used the factory torque settings when I've changed u bolts.  Also bear 
in mind that there are 4 nuts, so the cumulative is probably a lot more than 
45.

Tomorrow I'm going to install a '70 RR posi rear end and new rear
springs in my Belvedere.  I'm using OEM U bolts.  I noticed that the FSM
calls out 45 ft.lbs. torque for the U bolt nuts.  That doesn't seem like
much torque for a nut that large in diameter.  What torque setting do
you guys use?
