    Friont Strut Replacement Torques

    2016 X5 x3.5i

    Changing the front struts to Bilsteins and can not find any info on torque values. I assume the three on top are around 45 but what is the value for the bolt that locks the strut into the strut mount? I have also seen a video where the springs are compressed in the car and the strut mount is disconnected from the hub which allows the strut to come out without disconnecting the wishbone. Anybody tried that? Also what are the tightening specs for the lower strut mount bolt that bolts to the hub? It rotates with the suspension so I assume there is a tightening procedure. TIA
