Ok spent about the last hour searching and reading. Few questions about the steps. Final torque settings order?

Lower
Sleeve
upper

Or,

Sleeve
upper
lower

I think the 1st one sounds right Lower Sleeve then Upper. Torque is
Lower 75
Sleeve 50
Upper 100

Those sound correct? Just trying to compile all the search results. Ya get a lot of different values and steps in all the diff articles. Maybe I'll write another one as I do this along with a lockout installation article because I think that question shows up more than any question besides what tires fit /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

Thanks
 
According to my manual you are right on with the lower, sleeve, upper and the torque settings, Just did mine two weeks ago and Thats what I followed. But a spec sheet and right up is a good idea. lol
