As Rob stated, you should be able to find a chart someplace that will indicate torque specs for various sized bolts. Remember that a bolt that takes a 1/2 inch wrench is not a 1/2 inch bolt. Wrench size for the bolt refers to the head of the bolt and not the threaded shaft part of the bolt. So 1/2 inch bolt refers to the threaded part of the bolt and not the head which would likely be a couple sizes bigger like 5/8's or so.
