I have done this, and had bad results both times. An "indy"mechanic who is probably one of the best mechanics I've known told me the following... "New seals totally clean with no lubricant. Flat boxes. You use a cross pattern to tighten, start wherever you want. Use an allen wrench that you have cut off to shorten the head on the bolts you can't reach. Forget torque settings. You tighten these bolts until they feel like metal to metal contract. When you look at the boxes they should appear to be touching.. basically again appearing metal to metal. Did it this way and no leaks, no shifting of boxes.
