Start with clean, dry bolt threads\u2014free of oil or grease.<\/p>

Thread hardware by hand first, then use a torque wrench in a crisscross pattern.<\/p>

Torque values: M12 bolts typically require 83 lb-ft, while M14 bolts need around 103 lb-ft.<\/p>

Re-torque after the first 50\u2013100 miles of driving.<\/p>
