The tutorial recommends tightening the wheel nuts to a torque of 110 NM. Ford service manuals indicate a torque of 135 NM. Why the discrepancy ?

  For FORD B-MAX the correct tightening torque is 135 Nm (The video shows a single-platform Fiesta car, depending on the year of manufacture the tightening torque can be 110 Nm and 135 Nm)
