use a 9.8 or better bolt. All metric bolts have the strength value on the head. A good rule of thumb for a shadetree torque value is break an ajacent bolt loose and duplicate the ''feel'' when reinstalling. 20 ft pounds is not much....

Luckily I do have a torque wrench that goes from 0 to 150, so I should be good for the torque. And I did buy blue loctite today.
Tonight I am going to install my new bolt.
