Rear engine mount (Think) where the RnG bungs go in (all the way through the engine mounts).

Whats the torque setting when tightening the engine mounts back up? Hand tight or best to go to a setting?

Cheers

PS, its a curvy.

I just did mine so that with a "normal" sized socket handle (mine's about 9 inches long) on each side it was a "couple of grunts"** past the first point of resistance!

(** that's a professional mechanic's term which would take far too long to explain to a layman :D )

Is it not about 95Nm

I think i remember setting my wrench to 75nm, then giving them a good second tug once the wrench had popped once.

I'm not sure what the actual figure is, just thought I'd take a moment out to salute all this terrible advice though :) I'll see if I can find my Haynes manual.
