Hi, replacing the control arm on my 2010 Nissan Versa Hatchback. I've looked up how to get at the sideways bolt, (either drop the subframe or raise the transaxle). Looking at the FSU sheets for torque and bolt specs and I'm not sure how to read them. I know the X means do not re-use, and the arm only came with 1 bolt so there's another I have to purchase.
The specs on the sheet read: X 148 (15,109) My assumption is 148 ft pounds, M15, 109mm length.
Am I reading this correctly or am I entirely off base?

The first number (148) is NM, Newton Meters. The third number (109) is Ft/Lbs. So pick whichever scale your torque wrench reads. The middle number is some weird scale not commonly used in the US.
