MY shop manual is at the house. When I get home I can look it up for you. Do you need the torque for the front, back or both?

Front - 65 ft-lb
Rear - 80 ft-lb.

Good luck. Keep the rubber down.

That "resistance" may be that you have the speedo re-installed wrong, it's easy to misalign it.

It's worth double checking.

Mine read right, but I only went a mile, and it was pretty hot.

If you find an online manual, it is illegal.

All part of the learning process. Anything that doesn't cause an incident is just more wrenching experience.
