Need Differential Torque Specs

hey guys i have been having that all-too-common jumping speedometer problem on my 92 F150. i read a few articles on this site and decided to check my rear diff. sure enough, the side bearings on the diff were toasted. im going to replace them tonight after work but i was wondering if anyone has a torque spec for the differential bearing caps. i cant seem to find them in chiltons or haynes manuals. thanks!

hey thanks for the quick reply on those specs. i noticed that there was only one person who posted back saying that they fixed their speedo problem so i will do a follow up as soon as im done and let y'all know if these bearings cured the problem.
