RMM stb
#1
I just got my stb last week and was wondering if anybody knew how many pounds of torque is recommended by lexus when i tighten up the bolts ? I am buying a torque wrench just for this purpose.

Ask RMM
1Nice - As the GS doesn't come with a STB from the factory, Lexus itself can't help ya. Check with RMM if it's their brace or TRD on theirs. Not 100% certain ( as my memory ain't what it used to be! ) but I applied 80 ft-lbs on mine & when I check it periodically, it's still holding at that pressure.

How Do They Define the Pieces?
Sasha - I'd say the RMM STB is of a 3 piece design as I count the 2 tower brace brackets individually then add in the horizontal connecting brace. Guess it depends on how they count the number of components.

Mean Gene - So it really doesn't matter as long as it is real tight? I can just tighten it up till it feel's right and check it everytime i do an oil change. Will email RMM just in case though.
Thanks

Stock bolts are 50nm while the TRD is 55nm in the instruction sheet, it's not really on as tight as I would have thought, but I'm sure they have their reasons. However, when the dealer worked on my car and put it back on, they had it on real tight.
