Step 6 Put the stem back on

Fit the stem back on, making sure to have the fork align flush with the top of the stem (extra spacers may be needed) and tighten the side bolts followed by the top bolt that screws into the star nut.

you're going to risk having a loose fork if you tighten the side bolts on the stem first. tighten the fork up first by doing up the top bolt, then once you're happy with it tighten the side bolts.

Correcto. Also, he forgot to mention installing the crown race. And that threadless forks suck in the first place.
