34-2-1 says 175- 200 lbs of torque.

20-3-2 says 350-400 lbs of torque

Which one is correct?
The 361 series 34 says "Tighten nuts (5) 200-275 lb-ft (271-373 N.m)."

This is the newest series of TM and the one I would trust.

@Kacykl you are right, as I stare at my phone screen with a jaundiced eye. OK, but now I have THIS:

TM 9-2320-361-20 ; 7-22 TORQUE RODS REPLACEMENT ; p 7-51 and p 7-52 ;

The lower image on p 7-53 shows the torque rod (22) and the nuts ( 18 ) and (21) and it says 175-200 ft lbs (237-271 Nm).

I think that is now correct. Incidentally, in the ballpark of the above.
