Ach! I've hunted through the WSM but cannot find a torque value for the hollow bolts that tie the hose ends to the tranny case....I have new annealed copper and will butter them with a thin layer of Loctite 515.
I am thinking 45 lb-ft, but looking for suggestions, please.
Thanks/Tim

I think you are correct that the torque spec is not in the WSM or spec books. Nor have I ever found it in any Mercedes rebuild or cooler line flush procedures. However, I think 45 is too high. I do them about 20-25 ft lbs and have not had any leaks as long as I used fresh or re-annealed sealing rings.

Oh, the banjo fittings on the power steering rack are identical to the tranny banjos (M14x1.5) and the torque for the power steering fittings is listed as 30 Nm (22 ft-lb).
