They don't call it HBOL (Haynes Book of Lies) for no good reason! These are standard 3/8" threads - so 40 ft lbf will be fine. But to be honest -a good hand pull with a 9/16" AF ring key is what I have used for years and years........ Only tighten the rear suspension when the weight of the car is on it - and you have bounced it up and down a few times.........
