URGENT!!! Refitting front shocks! How tight?

[Paddy_g46]

Iv just had 1 of my front struts apart and have put the spring back in etc and compressed it to get nut on but i need to know how tight i do it up (the nut that holds the whole thing together) Im guessing i just do it up as far as it will go and make sure its tight?

Also once iv done that and i need to do up the nut under the bonnet that holds the strut in place how tight should this be?

Need to get this back together asap!

Thanks!


edit: this is for a valer if that makes any difference!

im sure the top mount sould be done up hand tight although not sure on the retaining nut
