    I know the bottom one is 52ftlbs but the top one I tried 52 last night and it stripped my nut and bolt and am getting a new one so I know I need less torque for the top but any suggestions?

    Take a look at the attached files. FYI I've never torqued my upper to 52 ft/lbs. I usually torque it to 500 in/lbs which is around 40 ft/lbs.

    And just realized you don't have a 3rd gen. Torque values are different.
