Didn’t mean to go about this the wrong way. I did not see anyone using a repair stand and this tightening procedure. I was hoping that by sharing my process it could really help others if indeed it was vital. Is there anyway to delete my response?
Welcome to the forum! @uniqueGT 
There is no need to delete your post. You simply had something to share and found a relevant, yet ancient, thread to reply to. Creating an account simply to share something useful for others is very novel of you, so please don’t be discouraged 
You are not the first necromancer around.
I guess there is a general dismay over seemingly intelligent spam Bots nowadays, as well as AIs causing a lot of traffic and increased server costs.

I feel lost without a repair stand. That’s how I wound up tightening my bearing shells.
Thanks for the welcoming hospitality. I was doing it as a one time install and was so ecstatic about how easy it was to torque down the bearing clamps so precisely because of the stand, I am hoping the clamps will be good to go for the new owner for awhile. Reminds of hand torquing the 8mm intake nuts on my string trimmers while on the stand. I will be lost without it too.

I kinda whished that I had a repair stand when I worked on the bearing shells (the ones that are welded to the frame) to make a uni Schlumpf-compatible. But a cut-off part of a seat post clamped in a vise did the trick in the end.
It never even crossed my mind to use a repair stand to tighten the bearing shells. I put the seat of the uni to the ground, place a foot on it if needed and then start to tighten the screws. Simple, and works.
