get an inch lb torque wrench. it will work fine.

and where did you get the 3 step torque procedure? this is not in the helms manual.

there is however a pattern. start with the inside 4 and then do the outside 4.

1. driver side farthest back inner nut
2. driver side forward inner nut
3. passenger side farhest back inner nut
4. passenger side forward inner nut

repeat same sequence for the outside 4
