55 pound-feet, and LocTite #242 is mandatory.

I'd like to get "component" pages done as well - various axles, transmissions, the engines, and the like.)

It should be ok, it is the weaker holding of the different ones. Randy's ring and pinion calls for 55ft lbs, but 5 ft lbs isnt going to make a difference on the ring gear.
