P.S. iam doin this tomarrow

 

pretty straight foward job. just make sure you torque the bolts correctly and tighten them in the right order. if you dont have a haynes manual pick one up.

 

Yea, DON'T over tighten them thar bolts neither

You have the specs? - Pick up a book like Keith said..

 

thanks a bunch whats the tighten order
and i got a chilton maunal

 

Clean all sealing surfaces with mineral spirits or brake cleaner. Silicone will not seal good unless all surfaces are good and clean. Do not overtighten.

 

the order isnt in chiltons? ive always had haynes books. just do a cris cross pattern. like when you put on a wheel. more important is cleaning everything like those guys said. and dont snap a bolt in the head then you are screwed.

 

where can i get a haynes book, how much $
Thanks

autozone, napa, advanced etc.... around 15$ its money well spent though.
