nice writeup and clean work! I just hit mine with my bench grinder, sloppy but they all ended up bolting in just fine.

For me, I just bolted these down by hand as tight as I could get them. That center sleeve is there so you don't overtighten things, and it is evident by the feel of the ratchet when you get them tight. I figured no torque to be necessary as I didn't want to put too much stress on those center sleeves, the lock washers should keep them tight.
