02 YZ250P Spring swap - do I have all the steps?

I'm going to swap the stock springs for a set of .46's. After reading the manual several times, it looks like to change springs ONLY, I need to do the following:

(Remove handlebars, number plate and anything else in the way)

1) Loosen upper triple clamp pinch bolts.

2) Remove "cap bolt".

3) Remove Cap from damper rod.

4) Remove old spring.

5) Slide new spring on.

6) "Loosen" rebound screw in cap ( record setting before and return after installing cap ).

7) install cap bolt on damper rod, hold rod while torquing cap to spec.

8) Install cap in fork, torque to spec.

9) Torque pinch bolts to spec. on upper triple clamp.

(Reinstall Handlebars....)

Anything to watch for? Anything to be careful of?
I don't want any expensive "clunks" after the fact!:eek:
