DisputedSources disagree (sometimes the factory manual disagrees with itself). Every claim is listed with its source.
Procedure

Owner-approved combined envelope of the two printed ranges, 4.0–5.8 and 7.9–10.7 N·m; 4.0–10.7 N·m is not printed as a single factory specification. The 1999–2000 removal diagram (05–13–20, PDF p. 497) prints 7.9–10.7 N·m nearby, but its leader does not unambiguously identify the filler bracket, so it does not resolve this conflict.
