Ok dumb question, So I am going to dive in this weekend while its warm and torque that idler nut and probably replace the stud. I see in the FSM that the torque on the nut is 32-43ftlbs. Should I assume the torque on the stud is the same?

Went in this weekend and replaced the Stud and Torqued the nut. I am not real confident that torquing the stud was such a good idea. The stud twisted alot while torquing it and I am kind of afraid I may have over twisted/stressed it/torqued it by doing so.
