Default Question about mounting my advance cable housing clip.

I just ordered all the parts to get my advance working (cable, housing, and clip).

My question is this:

I see no actual torque specs in my original manual (perhaps there are updated service bulletins with this info), but I read the procedure.

Should I just loosen and remove the 1 bolt at the cylinder base, install the clip, and tighten in (when cold, I assume), or should I loosen all 4 and retighten them in the order as specified in the manual?

TIA.

Loosen and remove nut, install cable and bracket and tighten. Next time you take her for a ride, put a wrench on her, probably will take another 1/8 of a turn, all done. Touching all four is asking for issues, just the one and done. Tight, not gorilla.
