Drain flange bolts - about 45 ft lbs
Barb to drain flange - about 45 ft lbs

45 ft lbs should be percieved as tight, but not axle nut tight. :P

how did you come up with these torque specs? Just wonder because 45ft LBS seems like a lot?

I did my set up just like that with the exeption of the oil pan tap, I welded a bung and I didn't have those bomb-ass gloves.
