Yup, that page in the Haynes manual was proper scaryiirc there were 16 bolts to tighten to a certain setting in a particular sequence, then you had to tighten them a further quarter turn precisely in another sequence, or something like that, it was definitely two different stages. Immense potential for fuckup.
