LOL its about half of the answer, the tightening sequence is the other half and right now it's the missing link LOL!

Got 'er done.I found the torque specs on the bulletin that Gary (Canadian Ranchero) posted a few weeks ago. It's 18-22 ft. pounds. I couldn't find the sequence but I did remember to tighten to the 22 lbs gradually using a side to side sequence starting in the middle and working my way to the front and back. Should be just fine. Also I didn't have any tightening problems as suggested might happen in the bullitin.  Thanks for the help Bubba.    Rich
