I found an online version. Saves my typing time
And since this information doesn't seem to be online here at JBO... I figured I'd clean it up a bit and copy it into this thread. There are many references to other procedures, which I haven't included. Most of them should be pretty self-explanatory though. I didn't include the pictures either.

Installation Procedure

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
