    Loading the wheels back on the G....

    I painted my calipers and my drums.
    I loaded the wheels back and tightened the bolts as far as I could (I'm not that strong, but they got decently tight).
    Then I used the torque wrench to tighten them to 80 ft/lb.

    But,

    I did each bolt in a circumference pattern, instead of going in a star pattern. (So, going around instead of jumping from side to side). :oops:

    No big deal? Or, should I take the wheels back off and just redo it?

    you don't have to take it off. you just have to loosen the nuts and tighten them back on. you want to do it in a staggered pattern so that you have a better chance of the wheel sitting flush.

    Ok, got it. They look flush though

    well, wheels sitting flush comes down to millimeters...so it would be really hard to tell by human eye....doing it in a staggered pattern balances the pressure...
