For the BX the torque for the front sensors is quoted in Haynes at 7.2 lb ft.
So - have fun buying a torque wrench that will read this low!
The answer is that this is not particularily tight and the bolt isn't very large. With experience you can judge the tightness of bolts as they yield and stretch slightly at the correct torque.
In fact if you do it up reasonably tight using an ordinary length spanner - not a socket and T bar or ratchet or that super 2 ft long set of spanners you got for Christmas you will be OK. The torque is not essential for its functioning - just to ensure it doesn't fall off.
