make sure the block is clean of any left over silicone and oil (use brake cleaner) Spread the silicone on the new pan and put it up and tighten 1 bolt at a time (not too tight just up a couple threads untill all the bolts are in). After all the small 10mm bolts are in then tighten them all down good. you will need a 10mm swivel socket for the ones hiding in the transmission housing.
