1. How much interior carpeting has to be removed?
2. What is the torque spec for the 3 main nuts holding the assembly in place?
3. Is Loctite used on the three nuts and the microswitch screws?

Thanks

1. Enough to get to everything
2. Not torque specific nuts on the brackets. As tight as is practical.
3. Thread lock on the tiny M3 machine screws only. That is optional, but seeing as they are so small you really don't wan them working loose.

If you are careful and they are not 'welded' in place you can loosen the existing M3 machine screws and re-use (depending on lots of factors).

4) 4x screws M3x5 is correct
