Default How to properly adjust rear end girdle

Ill be taking the rear cover off soon to inspect and change the fluid and i am pretty sure i know how to adjust it right but i thought it wouldnt to ask. Its a TA rear end girdle and i just wanna know how all you other guys with these girdles adjust the screws to make sure its doing its job. I feel its really helped the rear end out so i wanna keep it that way.

Thanks!

Torque the cover bolts to 15ft pounds
Torque the two threaded studs to 20inch pounds. AKA barely snug.

Default lpw web site instructions

The cover was installed using supplied mounting hardware, and with the bearing cap load bolts backed out enough so they wouldn't contact the bearing cap. Mounting bolts should be torqued to 25 foot-pounds.

The bearing cap load bolts were then torqued to five foot-pounds.
i just installed mine today, every manufacture is different.
