I'm at work now. If nobody else responds before I get home, I'll look it up.
If I recall there is a torque but not a sequence for the cover (at least in my manual).

A good rule of thumb is to start in the middle and when you get those four done go out and do the next ones,repeat until you get to the outside ones.
I have never had a inch pound tourque wrench but i know never use anything bigger than a 1/4 inch drive. Roy

Standard 6mm bolt. Torque to 5.5-6ft/lb. No need to strip them by over doing it.
