Front diff bolts

I had to take out the gears in my front diff yesterday to replace the axle seals. I have everything back together now but I cant remember if I tightened the bolts that hold the gears in enough, so im going to take the cover back off to make sure. Since im going to be in there again I figured I will do it right and get a torque wrench.

How tight do the bolts need to be?
Thanks
