What's the torque spec for the outer tie rod nut?

[@bpetertube]

This is what I was able to find on the internet for my car. Please re-check the values for your model / model year. Outer tie rod end to steering swivel member is 35 Nm 26 (ft lbs). Tie rod end locknut is 70Nm (52 ft lbs). Inner tie rod end is 90Nm (66 ft lbs).

I used the same tool and it just keeps clicking as I'm trying to remove the inner tie rod.. it's annoying and it's not coming off. Im using the right size crow foot which is a 33.6
