Once it seemed like I was tightening the nut further, I would stop. 41 Nm sounds about right for the nut on the firewall, but it seems a little high for the one bolted on the strut tower. I was getting a range between 20-25 Nm. I might be wrong though. Please advise!
41nm, 30 ft. lbs for both strut tower and firewall. Use loctite or Nordlocks. These are prone to loosen again.
