Hi,

If you look at the attached picture below, it provides the torque specifications and the tightening sequence.

When you tighten these, it is a two-step process. First, you will tighten them to approximately 3.5 ft/lbs and then a second pass to approximately 7 ft/lbs.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
