Recently I was asked what the torque specs are for the high pressure lines that I replaced in my video. I didn't look them up at the time because my process is to tighten them up to snug and then check for leaks. I do this because the metal is soft and I don't want to over tighten and cause damage that would mean having to get even more replacement parts. However, there is value in knowing what the specs are, and I do know that some people like to do maintenance "by-the-book".

Speaking of the book, I found the torque specs in THE  book - the Factory Service Manual - for my 2005 KJ. They are located on page 19-19. Here is a picture of just those specs:
