But not so lose that you risk losing the cone into “no mans land.”

Now you GENTLY lift up on the ball stud, so that the cone “grabs” the underside of the fender hole while you gently tighten, first by hand. Then once set, torquing with 13mm deep well.

I feel the printed instructions could have been better detailed, but got ‘er done! 🤗
And no super glue lol
