Default Coilover spanner wrench and anti seize questions....

Well trying to set the coilovers and the spec sheet from apexi says to tighten the locking rings to like 36 ft/lb, but how the hell do I measure that??? I mean it's not like measureing torque on a bolt. Is there a way to do it?

And when using antiseize on the threads of the coilover do I apply lightly and then twist the locking rings over it to get it into the threads?

Sorry for the questions. Just want to make sure I do everything right.

Do the locking rings, either one of them have a square at the end? (This is where you would put the 3/8 torque wrench into )

Just tighten it till your arm says its around 35lbs I don't think its that big of a deal, just check them when you rotate your tires to make sure they didn't move.

Also take a sharpie and draw a vertical line down the two and make sure everytime you rotate your tires or take them off to just look real quick.

and i would not put any anti seize in there, i have only seen issues with the antiseize catching dirt and causing more problems.
