Torque Specs for Front Strut Replacement

Hello all - my 2010 GLK with 110k miles has recently developed a slight popping sound from the front right corner whenever turn the wheel off-center. Upon inspection the spring seems to be making the noise and sort of sticking. I think the front strut bearing is seized which is why the spring won't rotate smoothly and sticks and pops free. I have a new strut top hat with sealed bearing. Does anyone have the torque specs for this job?

Strut to knuckle (I think there is 2 different torque specs for this.
Strut to upper mount
Strut top hat to strut

Thanks!

I'm sure that would be fine... I'd like the real specs though if anyone has them available to grab!
