I've just done mine and I didn't think twice about the sequence or the torque setting. Just bolted it back up going side to side with the bolts until they were relatively tight. So far so good. Is there a sequence to it?

Wouldn't have thought there is a sequence that really matters, just side to side and even and just nip em up tight.
