Default LG drop spindle install help

ALCON,

I ordered and recieved my LG drop spindles and started the install this weekend. Thing is it doesnt come with any parts or hardware so i will assume you use all of your stock bolts. Does anyone have the Service manual pages to complete the front and rear? I am looking to torque everything to factory. This is a 2016 Z07 optioned car.

Thank you
-Reggie

Probably more than you need but they split the steps up into multiple docs...

Did you replace any of the fasteners listed or did you just reuse all of them?
