Default Steering wheel torque value

I'm doing a steering wheel swap on a 997.2 and would like to know the torque value on the center column fastener.
thanks.

If you mean the center triple square bolt it is 37 foot pounds of torque. I put blue thread locker on there just for kicks. You may want to do the same.

I used my T-55 torque bit and it worked just fine both for removing and installing the bolt.
