Is there a torque spec for the gear leg bolts?

Standard Fine Thread Series Torque Values apply. 100-140 In Lb for AN5... See Section 5.20 (Page 5-18) for more info.

Also recheck the torque value on a regular basis (Condition Inspection) to assure that they are not getting loose. If you see the bolt smoking, with a fine powder like substance around it during inspection, further inspection or replacement of the bolt is advised.
