I'm a bit confused by the instructions for adjusting the steering bearing so I thought I'd check before I do anything with it. The manual seems to say slacken off the lower ring nut totally, then tighten it to 52NM, then slacken it off totally again and then tighten it to 18NM. Is that right? Page 3-36 of the 98 service manual. I guess the first 52NM tightening is just to pull everything together and make sure everything is lined up properly?
