Default STB install question

this might be a stupid question but I need to know.i am gonna put on a Rod Millen STB and need to know if I have to tourque the bolts to a certain pressure or just tighten them with a wrench as tight as I can get them by hand, any tips or info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

On another post I read a while back, the torque spec is quoted as 41 ft lbs for the TRD STB. I'd guess it's similar.

"To install, take off the rubber stut covers and the engine cover. Using a 14mm deep socket remove the 3 nuts on each side then the black plate on the towers that lift right off. Then just drop in the bar and torque nuts to 41 ft lbs which is the correct conversion from the metric torque specs listed on the japanese TRD instruction sheet."

Default tad difficult

Due to the difficulty of accessing one or two of the bolts, torque is a little difficult. I torqued mine down at 45 lbs. Others just tighten them down.
Hope this helps and post a pic.
