Cylinder studs
« on: January 21, 2015, 08:08:29 AM »
I was thinking last night right after I finished installing my new kibberwhite studs that I forgot to put the old washers on. Ops so my thinking is pull the nuts off one at a time in the order they go on and put the washers on and re torque, any have toughts on if this would miss anything up?

A re-torque is done by many, anyway. Proceed, but take them off in REVERSE order. 
Follow normal torque sequence going back on.

Remove in reverse ALL nuts, then re-install in stages of torque ALL nuts per the manual. One-by-one method will warp your head.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
