Hey Dave, i put mine in meself

Basically do em up the same way you put the studs on the wheels on your car....opposite ones at a time. Do em up semi tight (i used some low strength loctite) then work your way around once all are down to finish off. You should see the plates compress slightly as you work around.

If you go slow you should feel it get tight then stop. They break easy...trust me I ended up buying a new set from the local fastener supplier. Not expensive to replace.

There is no torque spec, just go as tight as you feel they will go. Mines all fine so far

Sweeet

it took some dodgy work but we got the clutch plates all aligned, pulled the gearbox off, went to tighten the bolts and didnt know if we needed a specific torque setting, so i did them up as tight as i could, then used a breaker bar to do them up a little tighter.

RB30 should be in the engine bay by tomorrow

20-22Nm is a pretty typical torque setting for a grade 8 m6x1 bolt.
