That guy is pretty cool (also a nut), but he fails to mention a few things.

First, that's a torque to yield bolt, so taking it off you have to replace it.

Second, he says torque to 55 ft lbs, but it's actually 58 nm, which is 43 ft lbs.

Having said that, my top bolts are tight, and so is the bolt he removed, and I still have the clicking ONLY from the driver's side...like many. Guess it couldn't hurt to try.
He also applied a lubricant to the threads. You can throw the torque value out all together as that value will over tighten (stretch) the bolt.
