I'm not a mechanic and was, more or less, one of those dancing organ-grinder monkeys. I held things and got things and danced when asked. I also asked a lot of questions of them, generally consuming their time. Of the three guys who were there with me, two are A&Ps and the third will be soon. In fact one of the guys was Dick Koehler who does Hints for Homebuilder videos for EAA ... I actually asked him about the torque plate and he explained that it was used when you split the case and he took a good 10 minutes explaining exactly what it was for and why one uses it. It was a great learning experience for me. .... Anyway, I decided I would trust those guys who had open manuals and a plan between them of what they were doing and about 120 years of airplane mechanic experience between them. Can't say how grateful I am for the time those guys spent with me.

That's the best answer I can give.
