2. Install BB with nothing (no thread lock) on DS threads, with desired chainline placement (although there really isn't that much room for adjustment) set on DS
3. Tighten NDS side down firmly, but not quite to full torque spec
4. Next day remove DS, apply threadlock, re-install DS and torque to 70nm
5. Go around and put the torque wrench on the NDS, and find that it immediately clicks off a 70nm


Now, I'm not saying this is correct or anything, just sharing what I did. And I'm satisfied that everything is as it should be.



Do you mean simply installing the cups, or tightening down to final torque spec? As mentioned, I "set" the NDS side first with locktite where I wanted it, then torqued the DS to spec, followed by a check of the NDS. Is that OK, or do you think I should re-do it?
Great procedure, well done.

When you have the cups essentially tightening into each other on a BB like this, 70nM of torque on one side is 70nM on the other.
