Recently purchased an STB by BMR. How tight can I tighten the nuts? Obviously a tork wrench would be too much. I'm using a basic 15 MM wrench. Can I damage the firewall at all?
Thanks

I would imagine that the torque would be the same as the upper strut mount nut torque in the service manual. Posted by Hawkeye (Member # 88) on :
32 ft/lbs.

Same answer as HERE. Posted by Quasar99SS (Member # 709) on :
Torque them to 32 ft-lbs. You shouldn't really be anywhere near the firewall, so I don't understand that part of the question.
If you don't already have a torque wrench, go ahead and buy one. You'll need it anyhow to torque the wheel nuts to 100 ft-lb when you rotate the tires. If you don't, your rotors will warp for sure!
