Mines torn apart right now, I have parts on order. The 4 bolts have 2 plates with nuts welded on them on the bottom of the swingarm (above the skidplate).
The torque for the big bolt is around 75 foot lbs and the smaller one is around 53 foot lbs. You also have to make sure the inside of the housing is clean to get it tight.
