Fitting new stem and bars

Okay, whether I needed them or not I treated myself to a new stem and bars in the sales. Any useful tips for fitting them?

I've got some copperease which I was planning on smearing round the stearer and under the bit of the bars where it meets the stem.

I'm assuming that once I've undone the allen bolt of the top of the aheadset and undone the bolts on the stem it should come appart reasonably easily...

Am I right in thinking when doing the bolts up I should tighten as hard as possible by hand (I've no torque tools, just a standard allen key)?

Any tips greatfully recieved

Richard
