Carbon swingarm pivot

[macmivvi]

Hi,
  Just in process of installing new carbon swingarm on my 3000.
 Anyone have the definitive install proceedure with torque for the cross bolt.
Found the pivot overhual doc,grease everything torque to 250lbs, in?ft? Or untill fingers bleed with allen key.
I find that to tighten the cross pivot bolt pinches the swingarm and it then pivots through the stainless bushes rather than the nylon inserts in the arm.
Am I missing something here?
Help

  What I do is tighten the pinch bolt on the swingarm on the non allen side until it is locked. Then the bearing assy will stay fixed on your swingarm and the bolt can be torqued to your satisfaction without spinning the inserts.

 I gave up using a torque wrench as I pretty well know that as tight as you can do by hand is good enough.

 Then loosen the pinch bolts and retighten them only enough to feel a slight drag on the swiingarm, or it can fall with it's own weight slowly. The crossbolt should be very tight and should only pivot on the bushes.

Have fun,

Terry

Couldn't put it better myself.
