One together.  Learning curve large.  That's a lot of bolts...

Biggest part of the learning curve is the locknuts and gauging the amount of force to clamp the wheel vs. overcome the locknut friction.

Bucket used.  Not ready to wheel yet.  :P

10-15-20 ft lbs rings a bell.
Like smike said
Bucket is key.
Run them in with small impact is best.
And I soap up the beads.
Then I would always torque them around in stages.
Less attention was given on trail only wheels.
12 bolt H1's are much easier.
;)

Last three completed.  About an hour per unit.  Silicone used on bead lock side, bead sealer used on inner bead.  Air ratchet used and yields torque close to 20 ft-lbs.  Final rounds of torque using a torque wrench.  Aired to 20 psi for leak down test.

Whew.

No spare at all yet, beadlocked or other...

All still at pressure.  I'm calling it success.
