JCW Strut Brace....

JCW Strut Brace....
Does anyone know what the torque is for the single fasteners at either end of the cross brace?
Also, if I remove the cross brace (leaving the tower attachements in place), will I have any trouble reinstalling the brace?
(All this is for replacing the expansion tank.)
Thanks much!
Oops. Forgot to mention it's an 06 cabriolet with every possible JCW option.

Although I am **** with torques, that bolt should be tight but not overtightened. It is not critical enough to torque it IMO.

Everything? I check my plugs with a torque wrench each time I change the oil at 5000 mile intervals. 20 lbs cold. Over night cold.
I also always torque wheel lugs and most other fasteners. But not the brace single bolt. The plate bolts, OTOH.....

Hi guys, I'm about to remove my JCW strut brace (that was already installed on my car when I bought it) to install an Alta CAI. I've seen around the forums that there are varying opinions on torque settings- what is the correct setting for the JCW front strut brace? It is on a 2005 R53 MCS (non JCW). Cheers.
