Hi,
If you look at the pic below, it includes the tightening sequence and the torque specifications.
When you do this, it should be done in a three-step process. Follow the directions as indicated. Also, it indicates using an angle meter. It's easy to turn it an additional 90 degrees, but 70 may be difficult. I always mark the bolt and head prior to tightening the additional degrees. You may find that helpful.
Take care and let me know if this helps or if you have other questions. Make sure to follow the sequence.
Take care,
Joe
