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.
