Default Innovative Motor Mounts Install - HELP

Anyone know how tight (torque spec) this bolt is supposed to be tightened to? Also, am I supposed to tighten it before I install the mount bracket to the engine block and subframe or after?

Also, if you guys have any other tips to make the job easier, please do tell.

When I installed mine, I put the 2 bolts through the bottom of the mount before I installed them on the car but left the bolt through the bushing hand tight so it could move freely to line up to the motor. Once I got it bolted to the motor and sub frame I took the nut off, threw on some loctight blue, and just tightened it as far as I could go with a wrench.

Only tip I can really think of is undo the exhaust where the header and cat meet when doing the transmission mount because one of the bolts lines up perfectly if its out of the way.

Major warning...using the wrong length bolts will bottom out and destroy the engine.

Do not use the oem bolts. Use the bolts that come with the new mounts, and be sure they do not bottom out in the block.
