STEP 01

STEP 02

Seat the caps evenly

Install both caps and start every M6 screw before tightening. Push the bar toward the firewall and torque the four low-profile nuts to 22 ft-lb. Keep pushing rearward while tightening cap screws from inner to outer.

Use two torque passes

With an appropriate low-range wrench, torque all eight M6 screws first to 5 ft-lb and then 8 ft-lb. Keep cap gaps even. If alignment needs correction, loosen those eight screws, adjust and repeat tightening.
