Step 3:
Start at the #1 bolt.
Follow the same star bolt tightening sequence as in step 1.
Tighten to 100% of final torque... |
 |
Step 4:

 |
Step 5:
Repeat step 4, as many times as required until equilibrium is achieved, starting over at the #1 bolt each time. |
 |
Finally:
Retorque 24 to 72 hours after installation following a circular bolt tightening pattern at 100% of torque. |
