Egr tube torque specs

Hello I am wondering if anybody could tell me the torque specs for the 2 8mm bolts and the 2 10mm bolts that hold the EGR tube in place. I am cleaning the EGR tube and thinking about cleaning the map sensor as part of maintenance but after reading some of the stories of trucks not running right after this cleaning I am a little nervous. I have already taken the EGR tube off which was caked in crap so I’m going to clean that and try to get as much out that is loose in the area that the tube goes into. Any suggestions will be helpful now that I am this far along. I am replacing a glow plug long-term but I’m getting in right now just to put penetrating oil in to get the process started. Any info is appreciated

There's an EGR delete instructional out there that recommends 18 ft/ lbs for the rear EGR riser tube. I’d imagine the torque specs are similar.

Thank you . The two 8mm felt like they were about that but the 10mm bolts were pretty damn tight
