T2 shown here or 14.5 Ft/ lbs these studs are very very easy to snap and a bugger to replace.

Has to be low torque, when I installed my strut bar there were two nuts finger tight. I think not properly torqued at assembly!!!!

Woah...

So when installing a top mount stut bar if your not careful you have to watch out for all of that stuff underneath falling?

I thought it was a simple unscrew 6 bolts, put the fsb on then screw it back on....?

That looks too deep...

Nothing will fall it's just 6 nuts / 3 on each side. The nuts go on splined studs, they won't fall in or anything.
