For what it's worth, 41 ft-lbf seems right for that size bolt (assuming its an M10 or M12). Be extremely careful not to go a large amount over that value. I would stay less than 50 ft-lbf if it was my car. Use these values at your own risk. I don't know what lubrication factor is acceptable for these bolts or the coatings that were applied. I didn't run any calculations and don't claim to know the designers intended preload. Strength of bolt also plays a key role in this, and I don't know the strength of the bolts being used.
