Torque values for transmission pan? 2001 E320

Does anyone know the torque values for the transmission pan bolts and drain plug for a 2001 E320? I'm going to be changing the transmission fluid soon and would like to make sure I put everything back together right. I also plan on draining via the cooler line; how tight do I need to tighten that when I'm done?

The cooler line is attached to a bolt that helps secure the oil pan right? If so just tighten it by holding the ratchet with one hand and tightening it until its firm, I broke one of those bolts, not a fun day.
