Start with 5 foot pounds the center bolts, drivers, pass, drivers, pass , work your way to the ends. Repeat at 10 pounds ,then repeat at 20 pounds, then final at 35 foot pounds. Let it sit for an hour, then do 35 pounds again, and your done.
Be carefull with some center bolts, some only have a few treads, if it feels like it NOT getting to the proper range, STOP and go to the next one..
