1. For 1st gen front is 34, rear is 28. 55 is for the front brackets holding the bushings (22 for the rear brackets). I'm pretty sure 2nd gen would be the same (or very similar).
2. I had good luck tightening by hand with a passthrough socket and an Allen key, then doing final tightening with just a torque wrench.
