torch settings?

I have to change out the inner seals on my front axle on my 04 f250 6.0 4x4. was wondering what the torch spects are for the bolts on the end caps and the torch spects on the differential cover? I already have the passenger side axle out. was changing my ball joints on that side when I noticed a bunch of oil in the axle case and on the hub knuckle. Also, this might be a long shot but is there any way to change the inner seal on the drivers side without taking out the axle on that side? I have the passenger out and if I could get away without pulling the driver side that would be awesome. I know it's probably a pipe dream but I had to ask.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Jamie

I would think a Haynes or Chilton shop manual would have the "torque" specs.

The oil COULD be leaking out because the axle is removed.

I didn't have any leakage when I pulled out the axle on the drivers side last year. This year when I went to do the passenger side ball joints there was oil on the knuckle and inside the axle tube. So I'm just assuming the inner went bad. I'd rather not have to replace them. Replacing the inner seals took a day job and turned it into a bigger pain than it already is. I'd rather be wrong though. If it could be anything else easier to fix let me know what you guys think. I haven't been able to put any time into it today other than get the parts. So if I don't need to change them now's the time to find out. Lol.
