the spec is 50 lb ft of torque, and no fastener should ever be torqued
beyond
the specified settings.
As far as the problem with the bolts comming loose, many people have the
oppinon that the locking washers that are installed beneath the bolt
head,
is too soft a material, and somehow compress, thus allowing play in the
ring gear.
I used normal steel washers as replacments, and thread locker.
The next time I get back to the rear end, I think I'll use racing wire,
and
do it right.
