Per Dexter Axle when installing the backing plate assy for 12" brakes with 3/8" - 24 hex nuts ... Torque 25-50 ft lbs. I always put a bit of blue Loctite on them as well.
Sorry ... I was typing ... you were posting. I also put a small dab of never-seize on the 3 raised seats that each brake shoe rides on as well as the auto adjuster threads (if present). I also solder the brake wire connections and put shrink tape on the joints.
