fyi, these are the torque measurements I have for the other suspension bolts from previous threads:
Road wheel to hub........................120 Nm (102 ft-lb) - I just do mine at 95 ft-lb to be safe
Outer tie rod bolts ( 18mm nuts, and #5 allen ) : 65 Nm (48 ft-lb).
Stabilizer bar bottom (16mm ) : 65 Nm (48 ft-lb)
Struts .. TOP (3 nuts, 13mm) : 34 Nm (25 ft-lb)
Struts.. BOTTOM (18 mm / 16mm ) : 81 Nm (59 ft-lb)

I believe you can find the torque specs here

I think it is an 18mm, I used a swivel impact socket to take it off once it the spring was secured on the spring compressor. And used a "stuby" impact wrench.
