Just needs to be tight. The way it is you can't over torque it.

FSM typo. Few more in there, always a good idea to check torque specs listed in diagrams to the end of chapter summary. This one, unfortunately, doesn't have a match.

Maybe do 23 ftlb (range always bothers me, wrenches are +/- so much anyways) and add threadlock.
