pressure plate bolt tightening sequence?

Can someone tell me or show me the bolt tightening sequence when bolting up the pressure plate and clutch to the flywheel. I can't find my Chilton's and the shop manuals online don't seem to provide them.

Thanks,

Christopher

Tighten all finger tight, slip in cluch alignment tool and center disk, tighten bolts to torque values over several steps in a crisscross fashion.

I put in the clutch alignment tool first then put the PP on. Worked good for me. The general rule for tightening anything is screw the bolts/screws/whatever with your fingers, then go into a cross pattern.

Most clutch alinment tools have more play & flex them your input shaft.

After you start to bolt down the pressure plate, look carefully through the clutch spline to the pilot bearing seal to verify it's exactally centered.

I had to remount my clutch twice before I had it straight enough to fit together.
