[Vwdiesel] ARP stud installation

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

I have done this once before in the past but I can't seem to remember the correct process and no instructions seem to be available.  So, if I remove ONE stud at a time, clean the hole and then insert the new stud, do I just tighten it to spec using the standard 3 step process on the instructions in the box?  One link I found said you should tighten the stud, then loosen it, then tighten it and so forth SEVEN times before the final torque is set. What say ye all?  Hayden

“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."

“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
