Engine Compartment strut bar Torque specs.

I'm removing the strut bar in the rear of the engine compartment to make room to get to the bolts on the Rear Motor Mount. Anyone know what the torque specs are on the bar?

try to tighten it by hand- see how much muscle it takes to start to move
Now you have muscle memory of that torque spec and can repeat it on install
This really works for smaller things!
