U u812many73 Member Contributor : 02 p5 Feb 15, 2010 #2 I think I read 13-16.5 ft lbs, then mark the bolt and tighten it an additional 85-95* through the sequence, then repeat 85-95 one more time. I saw it in the sevice manual and thought that was kinda odd. http://errorok.com/mazdap5/Workshop_Manual/01-10b.PDF look on the end of page 16, beginning of page 17. Last edited: Feb 15, 2010
