David, I understand there is a pattern to tightening.� Sorry for the stupid 
question, but what do you mean when you say "three passes around to get to 
torque?"�

If I get the slightest trace of pulsation after getting a vehicle
back from tire or other shop, without even thinking about it I relax
all the wheel fasteners and then retorque them using the correct star
tightening pattern, at least three passes all around to get to
torque.� Sure have fixed a lot of pulsing brakes that way.

Yours,
David
