NOTE: Tighten the retainers in two stages, in the sequence shown .[U]

• Stage 1: Tighten to 2 Nm (18 lb-in).
• Stage 2: Tighten 45 Nm (33 lb-ft)

The sequence noted above works great if you have the cab off the truck LOL...so in order to combat this sequence, seeing as how the last 4 bolts would/are near impossible to get to with the supercharger in place...

Just simply reverse the order of the sequence

12 - 1
11 - 2
10 - 3
9 - 4
8 - 5
7 - 6
6 - 7
5 - 8
4 - 9
3 - 10
2 - 11
1 - 12

TIghten the rear 4 down first then put supercharger on and tighten the rest... :banana2:
