Default clutch spring question

I'm installing a HD reduced effort clutchkit om my 05 Fatboy and was wondering if I'm suppose to fully tighten the bolts down that retain the clutch spring? this is the spring that holds down the pressure plate. I don't remember if they were when I took it apart.

Yes, you want to make sure they are nice and snug. Tighten them just as you would a tire in a cross pattern when tightening. I had my spring changed out last night and watched the guy after he used the cordless impact on them go back with a wrench and check each one to make sure they were tight.

Use a torque wrench and tighten the six bolts to 90-110 inch-lbs
