Default Torque Spec 2010 FLSTC Front M/C Brakeline

I just bought a new 2010 FLSTC and the Service Manual is on order. I need to adjust the position of the front brake line. Can someone with the 2010 Softail Servcie Manual post the Torque Spec for the front brake line fitting on the front Master Cylinder? My '08 DYNA and 10 Touring Shop Manuals List Different values.

Thanks in Advance

If you're talking about the banjo bolt, the spec is 17-22 ft-lbs. It's not going to be as easy as just loosening the bolt, turning and tightening though. For one thing, it's going to leak fluid, and that DOT 4 is damaging to paint. For another, the crush washers are single use. Once your rotate one or more of the seating surfaces, it's a crap shoot whether it will seal. Plan on removing it, using a new washer, and then bleeding the brakes.

BTW... even though there is a torque spec, I wouldn't take a torque wrench to a banjo bolt. Just snug t down so nothing moves, and the rubber/steel washer will take care of the rest. GL!
