Fitting an ajustable strut brace

[rob.slader]

Is there a particular way a strut brace needs to be fitted? I have an ajustable strut brace. With the two bolts on the top of the struts, do these need to be torqued down to a particular setting or do they just get done up as tight as poss. Also how tight do I need to tighten the ajustable bar??

i got told to make sure that both front wheels were off the ground thus taking out any stress on the turrets then just tighten the bolts hard you get a feel for them obviously dont whack them right up till they almost strip!

I am well confused now, I got told not to jack the car up as when you un-do the strut bolts, the shocks can come out. :?

just get sum one to hold the wheels ie take the weight ! :D
