Torque specs

I'm having a hard time, not having a service repair manual, finding a link that provides torque specs for my r129, 1993 500 SL. I'm in the process of restoring the car and ordered a Chilton on line service. Waste of time. Ordered a DVD service manual. Another waste of time. So, I'm asking for help on this forum hoping to have some luck. At the moment, I'm replacing the fan clutch. Because I am replacing and repairing several parts on this vehicle, a link would be helpful in referring to. jc

I have not seen any source listing all or even most torque specs--in the MB WIS (Workshop Information System) the relevant specs are shown within each procedure's documentation.

I have the pirated copy of the 2013 WIS from emanualsonline. It is a virtual machine backup of a legitimate copy of the WIS that runs on a virtual Windows XP "machine" using VMware or VirtualBox. I use the latter running on Linux Mint 17.

There is a bit of a learning curve to working with it and finding what you want, and the documents are not what I have come to expect of American or Japanese automaker's manuals--but it is for better or worse the best there is for these cars.

That would be the best way to get them all...
