Clymer manual doesn't list torque spec for clutch wheel bolts.
Just hand tighten, it's aluminum be careful not to strip the threads.

Those are 6mm fine thread.  I recall it is 6 ftlbs with blue locktite. Cam.

Since the cart will be heavier than a bike, you might want to preload those clutch springs a touch, or at least keep in mind to watch for slip. The Barnett springs should be a bit stiffer than stock. I know my DP ones were. Cam.
