Default 6th gen question

got this off of an accord forum...is this correct for a 6th gen???

1. Before starting alignment, complete inspection checklist. Determine the amount of change needed.
2. Raise front of vehicle and support vehicle on jack stands under the lower control arm.

3. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
4. From under the hood, remove the anchor bolt nuts.
5. From under the wheel well, remove the ball joint stud nut and release ball joint from spindle.
6. Remove control arm from vehicle.
7. Remove nonadjustable anchor bolts from control arm and replace with adjustable anchors with the large radius to the ball joint.
8. Torque control arm to anchor pivot bolts to 22 ft. lbs.
9. Reinstall control arm assembly to the body and torque anchor nuts to 47 ft. lbs.
10. Reinstall and torque ball joint stud nut to 32 ft.lbs.
11. Replace tire and wheel assembly.
12. Adjust camber to specifications by sliding the arm in and out, torque the bottom adjuster nut to 35 ft. lbs.
