Is the idea of a stud to only be done up finger tight then once the nut is put on the torque tightens up the stud in the hole also?

thanks mate. Finger tight it is

so you dont risk the studs coming loose? I guess if you use the correct locking mechanism. In nissans case the metal tabs...

Id be using locktite on the studs. The metal tabs are to stop the nuts coming off, not the studs.
