Cool

I do mine to 88NM. IIRC the manual states 78-98NM or something similar. I couldn't tell you how many lb/ft to NM without looking at wrench!

The book says 67lb +/- 7lb

Don't do the standard Subaru nuts up at any more than 80lb, as they can get damaged, losing material which then destroys the stud thread next time the nut comes off.
