I attached the process from the manual. It is not detailed so I attached some other info that is more general that should help as well.

I understand. Unfortunately we don't have that level of detail in any of the manuals as they always left that to the mechanic to figure out when they are doing the job. Basically as they are trying to take each bolt off they find the proper socket.
