"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

I loosen up the 4 M6 bolts first, they are not in the same league as those head studs.  After that I follow the tightening sequence in reverse.

The FSM for my 650 only says "in a criss cross pattern" for removal.

Really, that's more or less what the 'official' install order is

The install has a specific pattern to follow on my FSM of my 550 and 650. The removal doesn't mention the pattern.
