Are you sure? These are described as brass bolts.
3/8-16 Steel, grade 5, are spec'd for 36 lbs and I don't think brass matches Grade 5.

Hi Merlin:
The 4106 book says 20 to 25 foot pounds.
We tighten them up until the lock washer is closed tightly. Caution: over tightening will crack the lining.
Also you want to be sure that the surface of the steel shoe is clean and smooth. If not, same problem, lining will crack.
I Hope this HELPS!!
