Wasnt that bad honestly. I was pretty nervous about tinkering with it but it was simple. biggest pain was getting the ferrells on the stock rod bolts out. 0 of 16 came out without trouble lol i would just slide the stock rod bolt back in enough that it grabbed on the ferrell but not enough to be threaded. Then a few yanks on the bolt using vice grips.

Coated full threading of bolt and a bit under each head.

40 seems not that tight, but i guess the leverage of a 24" Torque wrench just makes it seem that way.
