Snowboard bolt torque

Torque specs do not seem to exist for snowboard bolts, so after some testing I determined that 30 INCH - POUNDS is a reasonable force. You can start with a lower setting and then work up to 30 INCH - POUNDS if unsure of my suggested specifications. Be careful when using a ratchet on snowboard bolts because the torque exerted by the ratchet can easily strip the bolt or, more likely, the board insert. The use of a well-calibrated click torque wrench is necessary for final torque specifications. If you only have a screwdriver then you'll just have to guess. Always use cross-pattern tightening technique. Note: make sure the torque wrench is INCH - POUNDS and NOT FOOT - POUNDS.
