Good man Simon - I love it when people are willing to give things a go an learn something new!
Yes, these are specified to be torqued to 39NM however unless you have a special tool that can facilitate the allen key in the middle you can't do this. What I done was tighten the nut to it was nice and solid by hand. Then checked the force using a torque wrench. If all is good the bolt won't spin and it will lock.
Now, in all honesty when I done the back, I didn't bother! :blush: Seriously once these are good and tight the rust/sieze will ensure that they won't come loose. Even if you over tighten these you are only tightening to the anti-roll bar - it doesn't affect the movement of the droplink. So make sure they are good and tight using your hand tools and you'll be fine.
