OK so I bought a tusk clutch and installed the plates. My question is, how tight do I tighten the 5bolts that hold the springs? Do I tighten them as far as they go or tighten them just enough to where there not loose? Not sure, any help would b great thanks

Don't tighten them all the way you will break the bolt heads off, u only tighten them to about 8-9 lbs tq and you'll be good

I go hand tight then 1/4 or almost 1/4 turn with a socket wrench

Ive always used a 1/4 drive ratchet and 6inch extension and hold it on the ratchet mechenism part when I tighten em so I dont put too much torque. or you could use a screwdriver with a socket end.
