AC compressor Torque

[tofurun]

Just did the crawford AOS install and had to remove the AC Compressor. There are 3 bolts and were super tight. I can't seem to locate the torque specs for those 3 bolts that bolt on that ac compressor. Does anyone know? Can't find them in the service manuals either, but maybe im looking for the wrong thing.

Tightening torque=36N·m { 367kgf·cm} {26.6ft·lbf}

Here's the full instructions from the 2013 BRZ manual:

you're welcome! I found it under the Repair Manual > Air Conditioner > "Compressor Assy" section of the 2013 BRZ service manual ISO.
