Coupler Bolts Torque and Locktight Specs
I have a 10mm torque tube. Does anybody know what the torque specs are for the coupler bolts? What type of locktight should I use? Thanks

Notes from doing this myself... One thing I recall is marking the coupler bolts on each flange, so you put them back the same way and preserve the balance of the assembly. Here's the cliff notes on changing a coupler:
Apply threadlock GM P/N 12345382 or equivalent to the threads of the coupling bolts. (I used blue loctite)
Important: If the coupling orientation mark has been lost during the cleaning or disassembly process, the coupling MUST be installed with the directional arrow pointed toward the flange to which it mounts.
Tighten the coupling bolts - Automatic Transmission to 52 lb ft, Manual Transmission to 66 lb ft.
