Fair. The additional details were critical and should have been included.
It's worth nothing from page 5-34 (bolded shown on that page):
"While the manual has been crafted in such a way as to minimize contradictions between the instructions provided by Van's and the instructions provided with a part/assembly that is included in the kit (wheels and brakes for example),
should there be an instance where the instructions from Van's contradict the instructions provided with a particular kit component, those of the component manufacturer shall take precedence over those provided by Van's."
